Digoxin toxicosis, which results in clinical signs that include vomiting, d
iarrhea, anorexia, and cardiac arrhythmias, may develop in dogs treated wit
h digoxin.
Ovine digoxin-specific IgG Fab fragments can be used to treat severe digoxi
n toxicosis in dogs; however, management may be complicated because of prol
onged loss of the positive inotropic effect of digoxin.
