Toxicity to pets
Long-Acting Anticoagulants – also called “second generation” or LAAC anticoagulants – are active ingredients in specific rodenticides (e.g. rat, mouse, gopher poisons). Overdose of long-acting anticoagulants leads to a severe blood clotting disorder and life-threatening hemorrhage in all animals. Clinical signs of LAAC poisoning include weakness, difficulty breathing, bleeding, and death occurring several days following the ingestion.
