I think we can safely assume the cat also received Vit K and fluids. I know I've seen plenty of animals with rat bait coagulopathies that I've given blood transfusions as well. I assume you're also a vet since you're passing opinion, how does only treating with Vit K and IVFT work out for you? Do you lose many? What PCVs are you seeing pre-treatment and how long do they take to recover?
O.K.? I thought all vets knew that Vitamin K was the rat poison antidote? Rat poison works by inhibiting clotting factors, causing a rat to die of internal bleeding. If he'd bled out that much, how would a 120mL (one-half U.S. cup) save him? Need more details.
EDIT TO ADD: 260mL is a typical feline blood volume so the cat had bled out severely. Though, I would imagine Vitamin K and fluids would have saved it.
"*Yes, I'm aware of the inverted dialogue in The Empire Strikes Back. But the incomplete Death Star indicates that these tattoos reference Return of the Jedi."
Hmm, that's a little clunky. How about the "Wry So Serious?"

- I know.
