Abstract

A five-year-old mongrel bitch was admitted for acute care presenting neurological symptoms such as ataxia, muscular stiffness on forelimbs, pronounced depression, lethargy, weakness, incoordination, mydriasis and bilateral decreased pupillary reflex. Twelve hours post-admittance, the patient vomited both crushed and intact seeds of Talisia esculenta. Literature reports cases of sheep and cattle poisoning with similar symptoms by ingestion of fruits and leaves of T. esculenta. The aim of this article is to report this case, since no such records in companion animals are available.
