    No specific antidote. From Cornell's operator notes (these are for humans, but principles likely the same):
    
    Endosulfan is a central nervous system stimulant. There is no specific antidote. If patient is convulsing, give pentobarbital intravenously. Otherwise phenobarbital may be given orally. Do not use oily laxatives as they increase absorption. Patient should be under medical observation for at least 24 hours in any case of suspected intoxication. Electroencephalogram may show abnormal alpha wave activity (11c). Diazepam is the treatment of choice for convulsions. If ingested, induce emesis, then administer magnesium sulfate and observe.
