| Summary: | In this case report, pathological findings in cattle poisoning
that was thought to be caused by the leaves of Nerium
oleander in a farm was described. Clinically, sudden death,
anemia and diarrhea were seen. Post-mortem examination
of the animals revealed changing degrees of hyperemia,
edema, and petechial bleedings were observed. In histopathological
examination, edema, hyperemia and occasional
hemorrhage with degeneration and necrosis in myocytes
and neurons in heart and brain were detected. Based on the
pathological findings, observations of oleander leaves in the
feeders and deaths after the oleander trees were cut down
have verified the diagnosis of oleander poisoning in these
cattle. |
