  • Title: Fatal acorn poisoning in a horse: pathologic findings and diagnostic considerations.
    Author: Anderson GA, Mount ME, Vrins AA, Ziemer EL.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1983 May 15; 182(10):1105-10. PubMed ID: 6863124.
    Abstract:
    Acorn poisoning was diagnosed in an 11-year-old Quarter Horse with signs of severe colic, tachycardia, hyperpnea, abdominal borborygmus, rectal tenesmus, and hemorrhagic diarrhea. The diagnosis was based on history and predisposing factors, clinical signs, laboratory data, acorn husks in the feces, the urinary gallic acid equivalent concentration, and necropsy findings. The most striking pathologic changes were gastrointestinal and mesenteric edema, ulcerative enterocolitis, and nephrosis.
