Ficus cordata ssp. salicifolia is a toxic plant for cattles, Myburgh, J.G et al. have published a paper in Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research reporting an outbreaks of neurotoxicoses with some clinical signs including hyperaesthesia, ataxia, muscle tremors and padding motions while in lateral recumbency. Could these symptoms be a sign of interaction with serotonin/dopamine receptors?
