PLANTS Flashcards
IRRITANT TO MM
Alcohol, bleach, detergent, Phenolic compounds, Se, cyanide, toad toxins
Emesis contraindicated
Bleach, detergent, phenolic compounds
Milk used for tx.
Bleach, detergent, phenolic compounds
Cats more sensitive
Ethylene glycol, essential oils (D-limonene), Phenolic compounds
Hyperglycemia
Methylxanthine
Odor
Phenolic compounds (Chara phenolic odor), Essential oil (D-limonene) for lemon smell, Se (rotten garlic), cyanide (bitter almond),
Dermal exposure as well as oral exposure.
Ocular exposure.
Dermal: Phenolic compounds, detergents, cyanide
Ocular: Bleach (gas), phenolic compounds
Methemoglobinemia
Phenolic compounds, nitrate/nitrite poisoning
Decreased toxicity of Se.
High protein, Sulfur, Copper, acidic soil; organic arsenic increases excretion.
3 factors that influence cyanide poisoning.
- Species (ruminants most susceptible due to rumen microflora).
- Plant: seeds, young.
- High nitrogen and low P.
5 factors that influence soluble oxalate poisoning.
- Species (ruminants and sheep more susceptible).
- Plants: leaves.
- Large amount in a short period.
- No food > increased absorption.
- Ca decrease toxicity and Fungi increase toxicity.
Hepatogenic photosensitization.
Tetradymol, steroidal saponins, Alsike clover/red clover (horses only), forage induced, titerpene acid, pyrrolizidine alkaloids
Primary photosensitization
Forage induced, quinone,
heinz body anemia
red maple (unknown toxin),
Tx with phystigmine
Tropane alkaloids, Diterpene alkaloids
