Mean time to onset of emesis after the first dose of emetic was 14.5 and 18.6 minutes when hydrogen peroxide (n = 37) and apomorphine (31) were used, respectively, with mean durations of 42 and 27 minutes, respectively. Mean estimates for recovery of ingested agents were 48% for hydrogen peroxide and 52% for apomorphine.

Emesis occurred within minutes after administration and helped recover substantial amounts of ingested agents. Adverse effects of both emetics were considered mild and self-limiting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.241.9.1179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,18]],"date-time":"2012-10-18T14:25:04Z","timestamp":1350570304000},"page":"1179-1184","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Effectiveness and adverse effects of the use of apomorphine and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to induce emesis in dogs"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"241","author":[{"given":"Safdar A.","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary Kay","family":"Mclean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Slater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Zawistowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"J Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2009.00820.x","article-title":"Emesis in dogs: a review","volume":"51","author":"Elwood","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Vomiting","first-page":"195","author":"Twedt","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Hydrogen peroxide","first-page":"507","author":"Plumb","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Apomorphine","first-page":"77","author":"Plumb","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Veterinary toxicology: basic and clinical principles","first-page":"1139","article-title":"Prevention and treatment of poisoning","author":"DeClementi","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1016\/S0195-5616(90)50027-3","article-title":"Management of toxicoses","volume":"20","author":"Beasley","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref7","article-title":"Hydrogen peroxide"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Clin Toxicol","first-page":"1","article-title":"Guideline on the use of ipecac syrup in the out-of-hospital management of ingested poisons","volume":"1","author":"Manoguerra","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Clin Toxicol","first-page":"95","article-title":"Ingestion of 35% hydrogen peroxide","volume":"28","author":"Humberston","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"J Emerg Med","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jemermed.2005.05.036","article-title":"Hemorrhagic gastritis and gas emboli after ingesting 3% hydrogen peroxide","volume":"30","author":"Moon","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"593","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.85.4.593","article-title":"Gas embolism after ingestion of hydrogen peroxide","volume":"85","author":"Rackoff","year":"1990"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/241\/9\/javma.241.9.1179.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/241\/9\/javma.241.9.1179.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/241\/9\/javma.241.9.1179.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T11:36:29Z","timestamp":1741347389000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/241\/9\/javma.241.9.1179.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,1]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.241.9.1179","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1488","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,1]]}}}
