“…No antivenom is available for bites and stings by Hymenoptera; in most cases, management of clinical signs (including anaphylaxis) is the only recourse. This can generally be achieved through administration of fluids, corticosteroids, and supportive care [37]. …”

“…The intraperitoneal LD 50 in mice for lophyrotomin is 2 mg/kg [44]. Livestock, particularly sheep and cattle, are exposed to sawfly poisoning when leaves on the ground have sawflies on them and are ingested [37]. After removing animals from the sawfly source, the recommended management of poisoning consists of administration of silymarin and penicillin and glucose to prevent toxicosis and significant changes to liver enzymes [37].…”

“…Although the toxin is found in both males and females, only males seem to produce enough toxin to cause lethal effects after an envenomation [55]. The venom of the funnel-web spider has a wide phylogenetic range: rats, rabbits, and cats seem to be unaffected by a bite from a female spider, whereas 20% of mice and guinea pigs died after a bite from a female and most died after a bite from a male [37]. Male funnel-web spider bites have also been shown to have transient effects in dogs and cats [37].…”

Envenomation and poisoning by terrestrial animals (both vertebrate and invertebrate) are a significant economic problem and health risk for domestic animals in Australia. Australian snakes are some of the most venomous animals in the world and bees, wasps, ants, paralysis ticks, and cane toads are also present as part of the venomous and poisonous fauna. The diagnosis and treatment of envenomation or poisoning in animals is a challenge and can be a traumatic and expensive process for owners. Despite the potency of Australian venoms, there is potential for novel veterinary therapeutics to be modeled on venom toxins, as has been the case with human pharmaceuticals. A comprehensive overview of envenomation and poisoning signs in livestock and companion animals is provided and related to the potential for venom toxins to act as therapeutics.

Intoxication of a dog with alkaloids of the fire salamander

Europe. Its distinctive black-yellow skin produces toxic alkaloids in the dorsal and parotoid skin glands. These alkaloids can cause clinical signs of intoxication and may lead to death of an animal after mucosal contact or ingestion of the fire salamander. Although there are many anecdotal reports on dog intoxication with the salamander, there are no published data available for that kind of intoxication. We assume that this is due to the fact that most dogs die after intoxication with toxic alkaloids of the fire salamander. This paper describes the clinical case of a dog which survived the intoxication after the contact with a fire salamander. Publication of this case report has a certain value to those people who deal with dogs because contacts of dogs with salamanders are not rare, but so far there is no publication in the literature on survival of a dog after biting a fire salamander.

Feed as a cause of poisoning in horses can occur on small or large scales. It is challenging to work up cases of suspected feed contamination, but there are resources available to veterinarians and owners. Feed contamination can be chemical or biological. This article focuses on and provides examples of chemical feed contamination including misformulation, adulteration, and natural contaminants. Additionally, recommendations for feed sampling and diagnostic submission, including legal documentation, are included.
