Additionally, the cat had hypokalemia of 2.2\u00a0mmol\/L (2.2\u00a0mEq\/L; reference interval 3.5\u20135.8\u00a0mmol\/L [3.5\u20135.8\u00a0mEq\/L]), respiratory acidosis with PvCO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      of 13.10\u00a0kPa (105\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg; reference interval 3.86\u20135.60\u00a0kPa [29\u201342\u00a0mm\u00a0Hg]), and luminal metallic opacities within the small intestines on abdominal radiographs. The cat was kept indoor only and the history included no known toxin exposure. In less than 10\u00a0h, the cat became progressively less responsive and neurologically inappropriate. Point\u2010of\u2010care abdominal and thoracic ultrasound were performed in addition to a whole\u2010body computed tomography scan, with no obvious identifiable cause found for the observed clinical signs. The owner elected for humane euthanasia due to the unknown cause of signs and thus the cat's unknown prognosis. Upon returning home, the owner discovered partially masticated black snake fireworks in a pile of vomitus on the floor. A heavy metal analysis performed postmortem found increased levels of barium (10.8\u00a0mg\/kg [10.8\u00a0ppm]) within the submitted liver samples.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>New Information Provided<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To the authors\u2019 knowledge, this is the first reported case of barium toxicosis in a cat and the second veterinary report of barium toxicosis resulting from ingestion of household fireworks.
