Causes of Amitraz Insecticides Poisoning in Dogs:

 Amitraz insecticide poisoning in dogs occurs when dogs ingest amitraz from tick collars. Poisoning may also occur by inhalation and when it comes into contact with the skin. In addition to negatively affecting the central nervous system, amitraz poisons the dog by:

1. Alpha-2 – agnostics cause neurological adverse effects

2. Suppresses the release of insulin

3. Increases the glucose level (plasma)

4. Inhibits Prostaglandin E2 synthesis

5. Promotes the loss of heat

6. Affects Alpha-adrenoceptors, causing hypotension

7. Relaxes muscles of the pharynx, causing asphyxiation
