We describe two dogs with persistent visual impairment after initially mild intoxication signs following ingestion of plant material. Additionally, a 12-year analysis of the Dutch Poisons Information Centre database additionally reveals that ingestion of plant material can be potentially life-threatening to companion animals. Further studies are necessary to confirm the involvement of cardiac glycoside-like toxins present in and the toxicity of these substances to the retina.
我们描述了两只狗,它们在摄入植物材料后最初出现轻度中毒症状,但随后出现了持续性视力障碍。此外,对荷兰毒物信息中心数据库进行的一项为期12年的分析还显示,摄入植物材料可能会对伴侣动物构成潜在的生命威胁。有必要进行进一步研究,以确认植物材料中存在的类强心苷毒素的作用以及这些物质对视网膜的毒性。
