Bromethalin - It's not what you think

Bromethalin is a rodenticide that is commonly mistaken for a second-generation anticoagulant, such as brodifacoum or bromadiolone, although it is actually a neurotoxin. Bromethalin is sometimes considered safer for use around dogs than second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides because a larger amount of bait must be ingested before signs develop. However, if signs do develop, they are extremely difficult to treat effectively.
