Abstract:
A lioness was accidentally poisoned by consumption of meat of a horse euthanased with pentobarbital. The post mortem examination was negative but thin-layer gas-chromatographic and mass-spectrometric methods revealed a pentobarbitone concentration of 1, 14 mg kg-1 in the chloroform extracts of the liver of the animal.
