Advice to physician: If ingested, administer Vitamin K1 intramuscularly or orally as indicated for bishydroxycoumarin overdoses.

Repeat as necessary as based upon monitoring of prothrombin times.

Advice to Veterinarian: For animals ingesting bait and/or showing poisoning signs (bleeding or elevated prothrombin times), give Vitamin K1. If needed, check prothrombin times every 3 days until values return to normal (up to 30 days). In severe cases, blood transfusions may be needed.
