Use of intravenous lipid therapy in a cat with carprofen overdose

Nathan S Chumbler et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) was administered to a cat with no adverse effects. This case report postulates that ILE can be used for the treatment of carprofen toxicity in cats and supports the lipid sink theory as the main mechanism of action.

Keywords: NSAID overdose; feline toxicosis; intravenous lipids.
