- Summary
- 4-methylthioamphetamine is an illicit recreational amphetamine-class stimulant drug that pets can be accidentally exposed to through ingestion. Like other amphetamines, it causes a hyperadrenergic state by stimulating the peripheral and central nervous systems, and is toxic to both dogs and cats at doses as low as 1 mg/kg, with potentially lethal outcomes at higher doses. Typical clinical signs include agitation, hyperactivity, hyperthermia, tachycardia, hypertension, tremors, seizures, mydriasis, and in severe cases respiratory failure, cardiac failure, and death.
