  • Title: Fluoroacetate poisoning in seven domestic dogs.
    Author: O'Hagan BJ.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 2004 Dec; 82(12):756-8. PubMed ID: 15648937.
    Abstract:
    Sodium monofluoroacetate, also known as compound 1080, is used in Australia for control of feral and pest species. Poisoning of non-target species by sodium monofluoroacetate can be difficult to diagnose if there is no history of exposure because clinical signs are non-specific. This communication describes the poisoning by sodium monofluoroacetate of seven dogs from one property over a period of 3 days. Poisoning by sodium monofluoroacetate was confirmed by toxicological analysis of stomach contents, gastric lavage fluid and vomitus from three of the dogs, but the source of the toxin was not found. Six of the seven dogs were Maremmas, and livestock guard animals may be at particular risk of exposure to pest control baiting programs.
