ABSTRACT

Clinical Signs The nature and severity of clinical signs expected in Sophora poisoning depends on the species and the amount of plant ingested. Cattle poisoned by Sophora secundiflora develop neurologic signs including stiffness of the hindlegs, muscle tremors, and an inability to rise.5 Similar neurologic signs of muscle rigidity, exercise intolerance, and collapse on being forced to exercise can be anticipated in dogs and other animals consuming the seeds.6
