The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center is an Allied Agency of the University of Illinois College of veterinary medicine.  The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has specially trained veterinary toxicologists on-duty around the clock.  The Center has extensive experience in assisting veterinarians in poison management by providing immediate and specific treatment recommendations.  If an animal needs hands-on veterinary care, the Center will direct an animal owner to their veterinarian and will provide the veterinarian with a detailed diagnostic and treatment protocol.  There is a $50 consultation fee and the center will do as many follow-up calls as necessary and at the owner's request will contact their veterinarian.
