A 3‐year‐old spayed female Siberian Husky presented for evaluation following ingestion of approximately 429 mg/kg of lamotrigine extended‐release. She demonstrated severe neurologic and cardiac signs and was treated with lipid emulsion, anticonvulsants, antiarrhythmics and aggressive decontamination and supportive care. She was successfully discharged from the hospital 5 days later.
