“…Cardiac lesions were evident at necropsy only in one goose (171), but they were histologically observed not only in that bird but also in the other three. This finding is consistent with a recent case report, which found no evident cardiac sign but an increase in biochemical markers of cardiac lesions, namely CPK, AST, LDH, and troponin I [24]. Additionally, the microscopic findings at the cardiac level agreed with the previous observations in broiler chickens [14] and in goats [25], which evidenced necrosis of cardiomyocytes with the presence of pycnotic nuclei and rupture of myofibrils.…”

This study describes the acute poisoning of four 3-month-old Franconia geese (Anser anser) by oleander plants (Nerium oleander). After the accidental ingestion of oleander clippings, the geese exhibited a rapid onset of severe symptoms, leading to mortality within 15–90 min. Necropsy revealed cardiac and renal lesions. Specifically, interstitial edema, red blood cell infiltration, and myofibril loss were observed in the cardiac muscle, and tubular epithelial degeneration, interstitial edema, and hemorrhages were evident in the kidneys. Oleandrin, a glycoside with cardiac effects, was detected in the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, and muscles. The clinical implications underscore the urgency of veterinary intervention upon oleander ingestion, and the specific findings contribute valuable insights into the pathological effects of acute oleander poisoning in geese, aiding veterinarians in prompt diagnosis and treatment.

“…Oleander toxicosis is rarely reported in avian species, with symptoms including cardiac, neurological and gastrointestinal manifestations. Experimental works demonstrated its effects in canaries, budgerigars and broiler chickens, with clinical symptoms and pathological findings similar to those reported in mammals (Arai et al 1992;Omidi et al 2011;Lubian et al 2021). Alfonso et al (1994) reports a case of an acute accidental intoxication that affected 21.9% of 5000 geese appeared in a breeding center.…”

“…Sudden death in broiler chickens occurred 1 hour after receiving oleander. During necropsy, there were congestion and hemorrhages in the visceral organs particularly in heart, liver, kidney, and lung (Omidi et al 2011).In a recent article, Lubian et al(2021) described a 6-month-old domestic goose (Anser anserdomesticus) presenting depression, anorexia, permanent sternal recumbency, weakness and incoordination. The owners witnessed the ingestion of oleander leaves.…”

The oleander (Nerium oleander L.) is a flowering and evergreen shrub or small tree, belonging to the Dogbane family, cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens and public city areas. These plants, distributed originally in Asia and Mediterranean area, grow in many parts of the world, particularly in warm temperate and subtropical regions. Oleander is considered noxious weed and its toxicity has been known since ancient times. All parts of plants, including stems, leaves, young shoots, flowers, nectar, sap and products induced by combustion are toxic. The poisoning effects of plant induced sever negative changes especially in the heart, also in the lung, in the liver and in the kidney. Accidental and experimental cases of oleander poisonings have been described in several species. Several cases of accidental ingestion in human and animals have been reported from across the world. Therefore, this review summarizes the main anatomo-pathological effects found in livestock species after accidental oleandrum poisoning.
