Case Report: Canine Baclofen Toxicity
In this case report, learn how the team at Eclipse Specialty and Emergency Pet Care used hemoperfusion and dialysis to successfully treat a 2-year-old mixed-breed dog following baclofen ingestion.
On-Demand Webinar: Hemoperfusion in Practice – Real-World Applications and Case Highlights
Watch this webinar now to learn how and when poisoned patients may benefit from advanced hemoperfusion (blood filtration) treatment.
Hemoperfusion has become an increasingly valuable tool in the management of severe toxicities, offering a targeted approach to toxin removal when traditional medical management alone may be insufficient. As one of the most versatile extracorporeal therapies in veterinary medicine, hemoperfusion plays a critical role in supporting recovery and reducing the risk of long-term organ damage.
In this webinar, Dr. Ben Davidson walks through real-world cases to demonstrate how hemoperfusion is used in clinical practice for a range of common intoxications. Drawing on practical experience, he covers the basics of hemoperfusion treatment, patient selection, and considerations around when referral may be appropriate, helping attendees better understand how hemoperfusion fits into modern toxicity management strategies.
Key Talking Points Include:
- A high-level overview of extracorporeal therapies and their role in veterinary medicine
- Clinical indications for hemoperfusion in poisoned patients
- Practical considerations for integrating hemoperfusion into toxicity treatment plans
- Case examples highlighting hemoperfusion use in common drug intoxications
- Referral insights to support patient recovery and continuity of care
Case Report: Canine Multi-Drug Toxicity
Learn how a combination of dialysis and hemoperfusion helped a Doodle recover from multi-drug ingestion (including a toxic dose of carprofen) and return home after just one night of hospitalization.
On-Demand Webinar: Transforming Critical Care – How Advances in Hemoperfusion are Changing the Treatment of Toxicities
Watch this webinar now to explore how hemoperfusion technology is transforming the management of veterinary toxicities.
Toxicities remain one of the most common reasons for emergency veterinary visits. Unfortunately, many animals aren’t presented until hours or even days after ingestion – by which point the likelihood of a positive outcome may be diminished. Hemoperfusion, a blood-filtration technique that uses adsorption to capture and remove a wide range of toxins, provides a life-saving option when standard medical management isn’t enough to prevent severe complications or death.
Featuring an expert discussion of newly released consensus guidelines on toxicity treatment, this on-demand webinar explores how hemoperfusion technology is transforming the management of veterinary toxicities.
Key Talking Points Include:
- Highlights from newly released consensus guidelines
- Expert recommendations for optimal hemoperfusion treatment
- Current trends in veterinary toxicities

On-Demand Webinar: So Toxic…Hemoperfusion for Treating Common Emergent Toxicities
Watch this free webinar to explore real-world case studies showcasing the power of hemoperfusion in treating toxicities quickly and effectively.
According to the ASCPA Animal Poison Control Center’s (APCC) 2024 report, over-the-counter medications remain the leading reported cause of toxicities in pets. Human prescription medications are also a major contributor, ranking third (behind food and drink).
Carbon hemoperfusion (HP) is a novel extracorporeal treatment that can treat many of these common toxicities quickly and effectively, hastening recovery and minimizing organ damage compared to standard treatments.
Watch this free webinar now to learn which patients may be good candidates for HP, what benefits this treatment offers, and how it’s performed. Real-world case reports will illustrate this treatment’s effectiveness for treating a wide range of drug toxicities, from NSAIDS to baclofen
Key Talking Points Include:
- When to consider HP for toxicity treatment
- Advantages of using HP over traditional medical management
- Case report review featuring several common toxicities
Case Report: Canine Meloxicam Toxicity
When this Bernese Mountain Dog ingested 14 times the therapeutic dose of meloxicam, learn how the team at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center used a combination of hemoperfusion and dialysis to help him make a full recovery and return home the next day.
Case Report: Canine Carprofen Toxicity
In this case report from Old Growth Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (OGVECC), learn how hemoperfusion helped a Siberian Husky, who ingested an estimated 100 carprofen tablets, recover enough after just a two-hour treatment to stand, walk, and eat again.
