Presentation
Seizures are a very common presentation in practice, and management of status epilepticus can be challenging. [vetcpd.co.uk]
For easy reference, information is provided by clinical presentation and abnormalities, and includes hundreds of tables, boxes, key points, and algorithms. [books.google.com]
A juvenile red fox (Vulpes vulpes) intoxicated with metaldehyde was presented and successfully treated, allowing it to be released back into the wild. [vetrecordcasereports.bmj.com]
The objective of the present study is to develop a new method for rapid detection and quantitative analysis of metaldehyde using AI-MS, based on paper spray (PS) ionization. [nature.com]
Entire Body System

Treatment
Pathophysiology is emphasized throughout, providing a sound basis for discussions of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis that follow. [books.google.com]
The differential diagnosis of generalised tonic clonic seizures will be reviewed and medical management of these cases will be explored, together with the clinical outcome that can be expected after implementing treatment. [vetcpd.co.uk]
- Normal drinking water treatment does NOT remove metaldehyde. - While we are told metaldehyde pellets pose little risk to wildlife, pets or people, the Wildlives Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre regularly sees poisoned hedgehogs and the number is increasing [petition.parliament.uk]
It’s a complex topic, but in general any chemical treatment that kills slugs, snails or insects will be bad for hedgehogs and should be avoided. The jury is still out on the effects that slug pellets have on hedgehogs. [hedgehogstreet.org]
