A retrospective study was conducted on the exposure of dogs and cats to drugs, reported to the Poison Control Centre of Milan (Centro Antiveleni di Milano (CAV)) between January 2006 and December 2012. Calls related to drugs for human use and veterinary drugs accounted for 23.7 per cent of total inquiries (1415) received by CAV and mostly involved dogs (70 per cent of enquiries). Exposure to drugs for human use accounted for 79 per cent of cases involving dogs, whereas veterinary drugs were the main culprit (77 per cent) in the case of cats. The most common class of drugs for human use proved to be CNS drugs (26.8 per cent), followed by NSAIDs (19.6 per cent) and cardiovascular and endocrine drugs (12.9 per cent each). The majority of calls (95.2 per cent) related to veterinary drugs involved dogs and cats exposed to parasiticides. The outcome was reported in only 58.2 per cent of cases, and fatal poisoning accounted for 8.7 per cent of these cases. Epidemiological data from this Italian survey provide useful information on animal exposure to drugs. The knowledge of agents involved in poisoning episodes can help veterinarians make the correct diagnosis and institute preventive measures to possibly reduce animal exposure to drugs.
一项回顾性研究对 2006 年 1 月至 2012 年 12 月期间向米兰中毒控制中心（Centro Antiveleni di Milano (CAV)）报告的犬猫接触药物的情况进行了研究。CAV 收到的总咨询（1415 例）中，与人类用药和兽医用药相关的咨询占 23.7%，其中大部分涉及犬（70%的咨询）。在涉及犬的人类用药暴露案例中，占 79%，而兽医用药是猫的主要元凶（77%）。最常见的人类用药类别为中枢神经系统药物（26.8%），其次是非甾体抗炎药（19.6%）和心血管及内分泌药物（各占 12.9%）。涉及犬猫接触驱虫剂的兽医用药中，有 95.2%的咨询报告了结果，其中 8.7%的病例为致命性中毒。意大利的这项调查提供了有用的动物接触药物的流行病学数据。了解中毒事件中涉及的药物有助于兽医做出正确的诊断并采取预防措施，以可能减少动物接触药物的风险。
