Two young American miniature horses from the same farm were evaluated by a veterinarian due to presence of lethargy, anorexia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Both horses were treated aggressively with IV fluids and other supportive measures. The first horse died approximately 72 hr after the start of clinical signs and the second horse was humanely euthanized due to poor response to treatment. Oleander toxicosis was suspected based on the types of clinical signs present and due to several oleander plants and dried leaves present on the property. Oleander toxicosis was confirmed by the presence of oleandrin in gastrointestinal contents and digoxin in the serum of second horse.
来自同一农场的两匹美国小型马出现嗜睡、厌食和心律失常症状，兽医对其进行了评估。两匹马均接受了积极的静脉输液和其他支持性治疗措施。第一匹马在出现临床症状后约72小时死亡，第二匹马因对治疗反应不佳而被人道安乐死。根据出现的临床症状类型以及该场所存在的几株夹竹桃植物和干叶，怀疑是夹竹桃中毒。在第二匹马的胃肠道内容物中发现夹竹桃苷，血清中发现地高辛，从而确诊为夹竹桃中毒。
