(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

As per the owner, the cat may have gotten into the bait yesterday or before, and her mother told her about it today. She does not have the package with her, and drove 1.5 horus to the vet clinic, who wanted to charge her a good deal of money to treat. Her cat is lethargic, not eating, and losing hair. Owner calling to obtain help. She does not have information about the rodenticide and she is not in the same town as the vet clinic, which is an hour away. She wants treatment advice for what to do at home for her cat. Advised owner to return to the vet and have the vet give us a call back to continue the consultation with the cat's vitals. It is unlikely we will be able to treat her pet at home, as we cannot do anything at home with cats that is safe for them, and it may have been a day (or more) since the ingestion. While her pet is at the vet, she can run to a local hardware store and find the box of the produce she purchased and obtain the PCP number or a list of active ingredients and concentrations. Have the vet call to continue the consultation
