  • Title: Oxalate (Rumex venosus) poisoning in cattle.
    Author: Dickie CW, Hamann MH, Carroll WD, Chow FH.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1978 Jul 01; 173(1):73-4. PubMed ID: 670054.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen range cows died of oxalate poisoning caused by ingestion of Rumex venosus. Ecchymotic and petechial hemorrhages were prominent on the abdominal serosal surfaces. Approximately 2 L of thin, yellowish fluid was in the abdominal cavity, and mesenteric lymph nodes were enlarged and edematous. Other findings included catarrhal abomasitis; enteritis; pale, edematous kidneys; congested lungs; fatty infiltration of the liver; and nephrosis. In the kidneys, birefringent crystals resembling oxalate crystals were demonstrable only when frozen sections were examined.
