Splodge was referred to our Neurology department after his owner found him collapsed and having a seizure. 💔
Neurology Specialist Dr Luca Motta, together with the help of our Diagnostic Imaging team, performed a MRI of Splodge's brain which was normal. However, toxicology testing of his blood and urine revealed Chloralose – which is commonly found in rat poison.
Splodge was treated with antiepileptics and intravenous fluids, and after 48 hours in intensive care he made a fantastic recovery and was able to go home.
We are so pleased Splodge is back to his normal self and is enjoying spending time in the garden and playing in local fields, as well as annoying the family dog by pinching her food. Go, Splodge! 🐈
