“…The compounds responsible for the toxicity of oleander are several cardiac glycosides (oleandrin, neriin, digitoxigenin, folinerin and rosagenin) that are found in all, either fresh or dried, parts of the plant (Anadón et al . ; Renier et al . ).…”

“…Horses appear to be very susceptible to many different plant species (Botha and Naudé ; Cortinovis and Caloni ) and accurate identification of the plant involved, which often requires recognition of the scientific and common names by a qualified person, is needed (Anadón et al . ). The susceptibility of horses to a specific poisonous plant may also be related to the anatomical and physiological peculiarity of the gastrointestinal tract.…”

“…Clinical signs may vary from mild gastrointestinal irritation to sudden death and a diagnosis can rarely be made by the clinical syndrome alone (Anadón et al . ). Clinical signs accompanied by a history of exposure to the plant are usually needed.…”

Summary Poisoning of horses by plants is a relatively common veterinary problem and may occur when the fresh plant is ingested in pasture or when the plant contaminates hay, silage and feed. In Europe, horses are particularly at risk of poisoning by Cynoglossum officinale (houndstongue), Datura stramonium (jimson weed), Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort), Nerium oleander (oleander), Pteridium aquilinum (bracken fern), Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort), Taxus baccata (European yew) and Thuja occidentalis (white cedar). For each of these poisonous plants the information given in this review includes plant distribution, conditions of poisoning, toxic active principles and clinical signs.

Plant poisoning in domestic animals: epidemiological data from an Italian survey (2000–2011)

et al. 2013

An Italian epidemiological study based on the human Poison Control Centre of Milan (Centro Antiveleni di Milano (CAV)) data related to domestic animal poisoning by exposure to plants, was carried out in collaboration with the Veterinary Toxicology Section of the University of Milan. It encompasses a 12-year period, from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2011. Calls related to toxic plants accounted for 5.7 per cent of total inquiries (2150) received by CAV. The dog was the most commonly poisoned species (61.8 per cent of calls) followed by the cat (26 per cent). Little information was recorded for other species. Most exposures (73.8 per cent) resulted in mild to moderate clinical signs. The outcome was reported in only 53.7 per cent of cases, and fatal poisoning accounted for 10.6 per cent of these cases. Glycoside, alkaloid, oxalate, toxalbumin, saponin, terpene and terpenoid-containing plants were recorded and found to be responsible for intoxication. Cycas revoluta, Euphorbia pulcherrima, Hydrangea macrophylla, Nerium oleander, Rhododendron species and Prunus species were the plants most frequently involved. Epidemiological data from this Italian survey provide useful information on animal exposure to plants and confirm the importance of plants as causative agents of animal poisoning.
