    Summary

    A horse experienced reserpine toxicosis after a single injection, showing neurological and physical symptoms. Supportive care led to gradual recovery over 72 hours.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Toxicology
    • Equine Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Reserpine, a medication with historical use in horses, can cause adverse effects.
    • Understanding reserpine toxicosis is crucial for equine health management.

    Observation:

    • A single reserpine injection in an adult horse resulted in toxicosis lasting several days.
    • Clinical signs included erratic behavior, depression, bradycardia, miosis, ptosis, and paraphimosis.
    • Diarrhea was absent, potentially due to concurrent xylazine administration.

    Findings:

    • The affected horse received intensive supportive care, including intravenous fluids and nursing.
    • Gradual improvement was observed approximately 72 hours post-injection.
    • High-performance liquid chromatography confirmed the presence of reserpine in the horse.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for reserpine toxicosis in horses.
    • Prompt recognition and supportive care are vital for managing reserpine overdose.
    • While methamphetamine is an antidote, its use was not part of this case's treatment strategy.
