Simple Summary: This research investigates the poisoning of domestic geese by oleander plants, commonly used as ornamentals. Oleander is toxic and can be fatal to various animals, including geese. The study focuses on a case in which four geese were accidentally poisoned after ingesting oleander clippings. The affected geese exhibited sudden and severe symptoms, leading to death within 15–90 min. Necropsy and histopathology revealed damage to the heart and kidneys, while oleandrin, a toxic compound in oleander, was detected in the heart, kidney, brain liver, and muscles. The findings highlight the acute toxicity of oleander in geese and emphasize the need for awareness in goose-rearing practices to prevent exposure to potentially lethal plants. This information can guide measures to protect domestic birds and may have broader implications for animal husbandry practices, contributing to the well-being of domestic fowl and other susceptible animals. This study describes the acute poisoning of four 3-month-old Franconia geese (Anser anser) by oleander plants (Nerium oleander). After the accidental ingestion of oleander clippings, the geese exhibited a rapid onset of severe symptoms, leading to mortality within 15–90 min. Necropsy revealed cardiac and renal lesions. Specifically, interstitial edema, red blood cell infiltration, and myofibril loss were observed in the cardiac muscle, and tubular epithelial degeneration, interstitial edema, and hemorrhages were evident in the kidneys. Oleandrin, a glycoside with cardiac effects, was detected in the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, and muscles. The clinical implications underscore the urgency of veterinary intervention upon oleander ingestion, and the specific findings contribute valuable insights into the pathological effects of acute oleander poisoning in geese, aiding veterinarians in prompt diagnosis and treatment.
