Q1 Exam 3 Flashcards
Crotalaria and Senecio
rattlebox and tansy ragwort, pyrrolizidine alkaloids inhibit mitosis in liver, more common in cattle/horses
Lantana camara
Lantadene A and B cause intrahepatic cholestasis and GI irritation (sometimes kidney failure)
Moldy legumes infected with asper, penicillium, rhizopus, mucor
alflatoxin B1 blocks RNA polymerase and causes oncogenesis, acute hemorrhage and subacute liver failure
copper toxicity
anemia from sudden copper release from liver, no residual liver damage
arsenic
pentavalent and trivalent inorganic and organic, cause energy deficits (hemorrhagic D) and organic causes degeneration of myelin sheaths in monograstrics, antidote is dimercaprol BAL
urea toxicity
ruminal alkalosis, neuro signs
Ammoniated feed
bovine bonkers imidazoles are convulsants, neuro signs
Solanum nigrum
black nightshade, solanine blocks AChE
Nicotiana
tobacco nicotine also causes teratogens
Ranunculus spp
buttercups, convert ranunculin to protoanemonins, potent GI irritator causes muzzle burn too
Actea rubra
bane berry (red berry), ranunculin too, bitter milk
Helenium, Hymenoxys, Dugaldia spp
bitterweeds and sneezeweeds, sesquiterpene lactones bind sulfhydrals in GI, “spewing sickness”
Melia azedarach
chinaberry, southern states, GI and muscle tremors
Ricinus communis
castor bean (lectins), ricin and ricinine and ricinoleic acid cause hemagglutination and violent purging
oleander, Asclepias, Digitalis
milkweed and foxglove, cardiac glycosides inhibit ATPase in myocardia, heart and GI, avoid fluids with calcium
rhododendron, azalea, laurel
grayanotoxin alters sodium metabolism and produces bradycardia and GI signs
ionophore toxicity
cation transport into cell causes D, tachycardia, tremors (nephro and hepatotoxin in horses too)
Taxus and avocado
yew, taxines block Na/Ca and some schemic myotoxins
acorn/oak
hydrolysable tannins (gallic acid, pyrogallol) directly damage GI, liver, kidneys, and stubby legs in calves, edema
three respiratory toxins
summer grasses (tryptophan), perilla mint, fusarium mold on sweet potatoes
