Signs of bleeding in more than one body location are a good hint that there is a problem with blood coagulation and appropriate testing and treatment can be started. Sometimes bloody urine or stool is evident or nose bleeds may be seen. Most of the time external bleeding is not obvious and you only notice the pet is weak and/or cold. A poisoning victim will show weakness and pallor but bleeding will likely not be obvious externally. Anticoagulant rodenticides cause internal bleeding. Most of these products include green dyes for a characteristic appearance however, dogs and cats have poor color vision and to them these pellets may look like kibbled pet food.Īnticoagulant rodenticides do not produce signs of poisoning for several days after the toxic dose has been consumed.

Rat poison can be obtained in most hardware stores, grocery stores, and even for free from city agencies in some areas. Rodent removal services are an important part of pest extermination even in this century. Mankind and the rat have been in conflict for thousands of years. Rats spread disease, eat our crops, leave droppings and make nests in our storage areas, and infest our homes.
