    Author: Scanlan SN, Eagles DA, Vacher NE, Irvine MA, Ryan CJ, McKenzie RA.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 2006 Oct; 84(10):367-70. PubMed ID: 17359477.
    Abstract:
    Four incidents of Duranta erecta (golden dewdrop, Sheena's Gold, Geisha Girl) poisoning affecting nine dogs and a cat produced drowsiness, hyperaesthesia and tetanic seizures in all affected animals with evidence of alimentary tract irritation (vomiting, gastric and intestinal haemorrhage, diarrhoea, melaena) in five dogs and the cat. Fruits and leaves were seen to be eaten by affected animals. Therapy was successful in three of the dogs. Repeated diazepam doses and, in some cases, additional pentobarbitone or propofol anaesthesia, were successful in controlling seizures.
