Abstract

Objective: To describe the first documented case of oxidant-induced anemia in a dog associated with propofol and IV lipid emulsion (IVLE) treatment for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) toxicosis.<br />Case Summary: A 2-year-old male intact mixed breed dog was presented for evaluation after ingestion of 5% 5-FU cream. Refractory reactive seizures rapidly developed, and treatment with benzodiazepines, propofol, levetiracetam, and IVLE was initiated. The dog was euthanized due to development of marked oxidant-induced anemia.<br />New Information Provided: This report documents the first instance of oxidant-induced anemia in the dog, associated with propofol and IVLE infusion therapy prescribed for treatment of 5-FU toxicosis.<br /> (© Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society 2020.)
