This book provides a summary of the extensive work done by the French Veterinary Poisons Centre. At the time of writing of the French edition, the centre had collated results from 38,000 cases, whether admitted clinical cases or from veterinary practitioners throughout France. The text is the result of compiling and analysing all of this data, providing over 400 entries on an enormous range of toxic substances including plants, mycotoxins, household and industrial chemicals, pesticides and pollutants. Thus the book provides the first easily accessible thorough reference book for common poisons available in the English language
