🚨 The government of Alberta advocated for an emergency drug release for Strychnine. Areas of emergency use locations shown on the map 🚨

Strychnine is a highly toxic poison sometimes found in rodent baits and can be deadly to dogs, cats, and wildlife if ingested—even in very small amounts.
🚨 Signs of Strychnine Poisoning:
Severe muscle stiffness or rigidity
Uncontrollable seizures (often triggered by sound or touch)
Difficulty breathing
Hyper-sensitivity (startles easily)
Rigid limbs, arched back (“sawhorse stance”)
Rapid deterioration—this is a medical emergency
⏱️ Symptoms can appear quickly, often within 10 minutes to 2 hours after ingestion.
❗ What To Do Immediately:
DO NOT wait for symptoms to worsen
DO NOT try to induce vomiting (this can trigger severe seizures)
Keep your pet in a quiet, dark environment to reduce stimulation
Seek emergency veterinary care immediately
💡 Prevention Tips:
Avoid areas where rodent poison may be present
Keep pets on a leash during walks
Secure all pest control products safely out of reach
Be cautious in rural or unfamiliar areas
Strychnine poisoning progresses rapidly and can be fatal without urgent treatment. Quick action can save your pet’s life.
📞 If you suspect poisoning, contact your veterinary clinic or nearest emergency clinic as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
