Quick Summary:

• Anticoagulant rodenticides work by preventing blood clotting in rodents, leading to severe, uncontrolled internal hemorrhage and subsequent death of the rodents
• Some rodenticides are less toxic and need to be administered in several doses over a few days, known as multiple-dose anticoagulant rodenticides. While, some rodenticides are more toxic and need to be administered only once; these are called single dose anticoagulant rodenticides
• Anticoagulant Rodenticide Poisoning is the accidental or intentional intake of any product containing the toxic compound
• The condition is diagnosed based upon the clinical history, combination of signs and symptoms, and additional tests (that may include, in some cases, radiological studies and laboratory tests)
