Other signs included weakness (7\/19 [37%]), vomiting (6\/19 [32%]), and lethargy (3\/19 [16%]). Tachycardia was apparent in 10\/19 (53%) dogs, hypertension in 4\/19 (21%), and hyperthermia in 5\/19 (26%). Sinus tachycardia was the only reported cardiac arrhythmia. Bloodwork findings included hyperglycemia in 4\/19 (21%) dogs, and increased plasma lactate concentration in 9\/19 (47%). Most dogs (16\/19 [84%]) were hospitalized for supportive care, which generally included isotonic crystalloid fluid administration, and treatment with sedative or anxiolytic drugs including diazepam, midazolam, acepromazine, and chlorpromazine. Two dogs required further anticonvulsant therapy (phenobarbital and propofol) and 1 dog was treated with a constant rate infusion of esmolol. All dogs survived to discharge, and the median length of hospitalization was 15 hours (10\u201330 h).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cocaine toxicosis was infrequently suspected. Neurological signs predominated, but cardiovascular alterations were also frequently reported. Hospitalization for monitoring and supportive care is recommended given the potential for life\u2010threatening complications such as seizures, hypertensive crisis, and tachyarrhythmias. The prognosis for survival to hospital discharge can be good with the appropriate supportive care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vec.12159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,16]],"date-time":"2014-04-16T17:33:54Z","timestamp":1397669634000},"page":"201-207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Presumptive
