ABSTRACT
Clinical Signs Muscle twitching, excitement, excessive salivation, vigorous chewing movements and teeth grinding, frequent urination precede the onset of seizures. The seizures are frequently violent, causing animals to severely traumatize their tongues. When a lethal dose of water hemlock is consumed, death usually results in 1-8 hours as a result of cardiopulmonary failure. Animals surviving longer than this frequently recover over the next 1-2 days.
