Thanks to the generosity of a senior lady sponsor, the Zurich Animal Protection Society were able to create probably one of Europe's largest databases covering every aspect of animal poisoning. As there are waiting almost 2000 retrievable information sets including images to satisfy your specific needs, we recommend that you first read how to approach this fascinating chapter.
There are three possible approaches
to retrieve the poison database:
- The cause of poisoning. Suspected or a matter of fact.
- The effect of poisoning, the observable symptom.
- The poisonousness of the poison involved.
We suggest that you enter into the database via cause of poisoning
in order to be able, as a precautionary measure, to better recognize the dangers that might occur in your living space. If we are successful in broadening your knowledge with regard to sources of poisoning, we already have achieved a lot for your protégés. For we are aware of the fact that in an acute case of poisoning you will hardly have the nerve to flick through internet pages. Priority number one is, therefore, first and foremost prevention thanks to better information.
The symptoms of poisoning,
that is to say the observable effects of the poison on the animal, are a very difficult responsibility even for experts. The more and the better the veterinarian - who should immediately be approached in whatsoever case of poisoning - is informed about relevant facts, the faster he is able to react properly. The treating expert has to know which poisonous substance is at stake and in what quantity and at what time it has been taken. Even if only guesswork can be cited, every piece of information about possible causes is of fundamental importance. Entering into the database via symptoms is appropriate when inexplicable changes and reactions of your pet are diagnosed. Then you can at least search for possible causes and scrutinize your surroundings for such sources of poison.
The hazard rating, i.e. the scale of dangerousness
from not very poisonous to extremely poisonous, is important above all to enable people to have immediate and fully extensive knowledge about the extremely dangerous causes. It is surely appropriate to first impress the extremely poisonous sources of a possible animal poisoning into one's consciousness.
Finally there is the search engine
that allows a direct jump to the subject in question without having to first ponder about how to best enter into the database. You just enter a search key like "mushroom", "dogs", "vomiting" or "trembling" which will then enable you to have a look into all entries of the corresponding term as a package.
