[QUOTE="Hpacres440p, post: 1765540, member: 39347"] Prussic acid poisoning is real-we've been letting our girls "mow" our yard area, and I had this overgrown with Johnson grass garden patch. We have had rain in the past 3 weeks finally after drought, all of the "safety" sites say should be ok to graze. Big older girl made one pass through, eating the tall stuff, then suddenly stopped grazing and walked over into a shady spot. Very lethargic, didn't want to eat (she's a pig usually), drooling, but no obvious signs of respiratory difficulty. Inner lips were cool. I finally got her to start eating some cubes, sweet feed and corn, and she seems to be coming back to more normal. We're at the 1:15 mark after she stopped grazing. Hope I got lucky. Called the vet-she called back at 1:30 into this ordeal-said to watch for another 1-2 hours, if continues to improve, caught in time. If worse, haul in for IV antidote. She’s improving-up to grazing slowly again. [/QUOTE]
