A Non- descriptive canine male dog of 5month old was presented with sudden death. Owner reported that dog had doubtful death. The post mortem was conducted in the dead dog for assessing the cause of death. The condition of the dog is emaciated. Rigor mortis was absent. The visible mucous membrane was pale. The important lesion was bloody discharge from anal opening. The liver is congested and yellow patches were present in the liver.
Ecchymotic haemorrhages were found all along the intestines. Since there is no signs of traumatic injury and no history of disease symptoms. The cause of death is suspected for poisoning based on the postmortem findings. So the dog viscera like liver, kidney, heart, spleen, lungs, stomach with digested contents and intestinal loop were collected. The collected samples was labelled and sealed before owner and other competent authority. The samples were sent to forensic science laboratory by competent authority.
The report by forensic science laboratory revealed that liver, kidney, heart, lungs, stomach and intestine was detected with organophosphorus compound while the preservative sent as control was not detected for organophosphorus or any other poison. The report made a note that organophosphorus compounds are poisonous and used as insecticide. Hence it is evident that the death of dog is due to respiratory failure and shock caused by organophosphorus compounds poisoning.
