title: Acute penitrem A and roquefortine poisoning in a dog.
abstract: Penitrem A and roquefortine poisonings were diagnosed in a Laborador retriever following garbage consumption. Clinical signs of mycotoxicosis included polypnea, tachycardia, and ataxia that quickly progressed to lateral recumbency and seizures. Removal of the mycotoxins from the stomach soon after ingestion allowed the dog to recover within 72-96 hours.
