ChickyPeep.....I'm not going to ask why, I don't want to know.

Most of us are happy with a few chickens....maybe a duck or two.

But if your elephant is sick, I suggest you give her two aspirin and plenty
of bed rest.

If she continues to vomit, may I suggest you try burping her after each meal.

Boy I didn't realize how long that was. Thought maybe I had posted the wrong link. I think it was somewhere else in there as well.

Man-made toxins (Insecticides, herbicides, and industrial waste)

Insecticides can be contacted either by ingestion or through the skin. The most important are the organophosphates (such as Malathion, Parathion) and the organochlorines (such as DDT, Aldrin, carbamate insecticides, etc.). Poisoning is often found in elephants wandering in cities where they eat many contaminated cucumbers, guavas, etc.

Clinical signs: Insecticides affect the central nervous system, causing nervousness and apprehension and suppressing breathing. These toxins can cause salivation, vomiting, colic, diarrhoea, tremors of the skin, convulsions, laying on the ground and ultimately death. The elephant will begin to show signs within about 12 hours after having ingested the toxin. Nervous signs can be delayed for up to two days.

Treatment:

If you know the cause, keep the container or the label to aid in prescribing treatment.
Call a veterinarian immediately.

Herbicides like Diquat and Paraquat are often ingested when, after the harvest, elephants are let free to feed in the villagers' fields and paddies. Animals are sometimes poisoned after drinking from contaminated containers.

Clinical signs: Affects the central nervous system and causes the elephant to vomit, salivate, have diarrhoea, tremble and die.

Treatment:
