“…Repeated oral administration (100 mg/kg for 8–10 days) caused the death of all cats [ 71 ]. Clinical signs include the typical dark/cherry-red mucous membranes associated with the elevated oxygen saturation of venous blood, as well as signs associated with cellular hypoxygenation: vomiting, abdominal pain, ataxia, weakness, increased temperature, tachycardia, hypertension, respiratory failure, seizures, and shock [ 26 , 72 ]. Although there is no report of intoxication in ruminants, they are considered at risk of intoxication and may even be more susceptible than other species, as rumen microorganisms possess the enzymes β-glycosidases and hydroxynitrile lyase [ 27 , 68 ].…”

Exposure to phytotoxins that are present in imported ornamental or native plants is an important cause of animal disease. Factors such as animal behaviors (especially indoor pets), climate change, and an increase in the global market for household and ornamental plants led to the appearance of new, previously unreported plant poisonings in Europe. This has resulted in an increase in the incidence of rarely reported intoxications. This review presents some of the emerging and well-established plant species that are responsible for poisoning episodes in companion animals and livestock in Europe. The main plant species are described, and the mechanism of action of the primary active agents and their clinical effects are presented. Data reflecting the real incidence of emerging poisoning cases from plant toxins are scarce to nonexistent in most European countries due to a lack of a centralized reporting/poison control system. The diversity of plant species and phytotoxins, as well as the emerging nature of certain plant poisonings, warrant a continuous update of knowledge by veterinarians and animal owners. The taxonomy and active agents present in these plants should be communicated to ensure awareness of the risks these toxins pose for domestic animals.

“…131-144). Raphides are individually distinct, needlelike crystals that shoot out of the idioblast with high speed when the cell is disturbed (chewing), penetrating the oral mucosa and inducing immediate swelling of the lips, tongue, and oral mucosa, causing irritation/burning, vomiting, drooling, and dysphagia [2,21,72,93,94] (pp. 131-144).…”
