Methamphetamine poisoning in three Oklahoma dogs.

Methamphetamine is an amphetamine derivative and a category II controlled substance. It is uncommonly prescribed by physicians, but is more often used illegally as a stimulant. In this case study, 3 dogs were believed maliciously poisoned. Methamphetamine was detected in the stomach contents of 1 dog. One died and 2 recovered after gastrointestinal decontamination and supportive care. The recommended treatment protocol of methamphetamine toxicosis should also include urine acidification and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents.

Winter ecology of ectoparasites collected from hibernating Myotis velifer (Allen) in southwestern Oklahoma (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae.

During the winter of 1971-72, Trichobius major, T, corynorhini, Mydopsylla collinsi, Macronyssus crosbyi, M. unidens, Paraspinturnix globosus, Spinturnix carloshoffmani, Ornithodoros sp., Albeckia senase, Nycteriglyphus sp. A, and Olabidocarpus sp. were quantitatively collected from hibernating Myotis velifer, Plecotus townsendii, and Pipistrellus subflavus. Significantly greater numbers of S. carloshoffmani and M. crosbyi were found on female M. velifer, while greater numbers of P. globosus were found on males. With the exception of T. major and P. globosus which were radomly distributed, all ectoparasites exhibited a contagious distribution on M. velifer. Only T. major and S. carloshoffmani had a 1:1 sex ratio, the remaining species had significantly fewer males. M. unidens, M. crosbyi, and N. species A were positively associated, while M. collinsi was negatively associated with both Macronyssus; the remaining species were not signficantly associated. With the exception of T. major and P. globosus, ectoparasite densities decreased during the winter.

Malicious paraquat poisoning in Oklahoma dogs.

Paraquat is a restricted use herbicide which is extremely toxic to companion animals when ingested. This report details one incident of malicious poisoning involving 6 dogs. All dogs were from the same geographic area, and 5 had pulmonary and renal lesions consistent with paraquat toxicosis. Diagnosis was initiated by a modified dithionite spot test on vomitus from 1 dog. Subsequent tissue paraquat levels ranged from non-detectable to 1 ppm.

The Oklahoma complex. A common form of conversion hysteria.

Hysteria is not a homogeneous illness. Some patients with symptoms of apparent neurological dysfunction develop a disability because they cannot cope with life's demands. This article calls attention to several hysterical patients who share similar histories. Treatment by a nonpsychiatric physician in these three cases consisted of simple emotional support and easing of responsibilities, ie, saying no for the patient. Recognition of the psychological state of some patients with hysterical symptoms, and administration of treatment that eases environmental stresses, can be effective.
