Animals
"Two
dogs were seen at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Nairobi,
Kenya, both having histories of 'labored breathing] progressively
enlarging abdomens ...and pleural and 'the membranous sac enclosing the
heart's, unrestrained flow. Also lung swelling.]...
The two dogs had a
fondness for avocado fruits and...the presenting syndrome is identical
to that seen in
goats, sheep and horses
poisoned by avocados..."
