Objective– To describe the clinical manifestations following cyclonite (C‐4) plastic explosive ingestion in a dog. Case Summary– A 2‐year‐old male castrated Labrador working dog weighing 35 kg was presented for seizures shortly after ingestion of C‐4. The dog was successfully treated for the seizures, but developed polyuria/polydipsia shortly after being discharged and was ultimately diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. New or Unique Information Provided– This is the first documented case of renal insufficiency in a dog after C‐4 intoxication.
