Prunus Padus (Bird Cherry) Poisoning in Cattle. Sargison, N. D., Williamson, D. S., Duncan, J. R., & McCance, R. W. 138(8):188. ![Prunus Padus (Bird Cherry) Poisoning in Cattle [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex ALTHOUGH plant poisoning is frequently suspected in ruminants, the clinical signs and post mortem findings are seldom specific and the cause is rarely identified. Most cases involve a combination of factors, including access to potentially poisonous plants, shortage of fodder and concurrent systemic disease. The severity of clinical signs and outcome are usually dose related. This report deals with poisoning due to Priunutis padlis (bird cherry). Three aged cows from a spring-calving herd of 20 showed clinical signs of anorexia, separation from the herd, weakness, depression and stupor, compulsive circling, bruxism, excessive salivation and tenesmus. When approached, the cows displayed abnormal aggressive behaviour. Closer clinical examination revealed normal rectal temperatures (38 5'C), poor rumen fill and ruminal stasis, salivation, bright red mucous membranes, tachycardia ($>$140 beats/min) with marked cardiac dysrhythmia and tachypnoea ($>$60 breaths/per min). On rectal examination, faeces were scant and tarry and were comprised mostly of macerated broad leaves and twigs; the rectal mucosae bled following gentle internal examination. An EDTA blood sample was collected from one cow for cyanide estimation. Despite supportive therapy, the three affected cows developed left lateral recumbency with generalised muscle fasciculations and died within 10 hours of the onset of clinical signs.
