Organophosphorus and pyrethroid are the pesticides most often involved in serious poisoning in animals. A she buffalo was presented to the Referral Veterinary Polyclinic, IVRI, Izatnagar in recumbent stage with a history of incoordination, salivation and shivering which had accidentally ingested insecticide solution containing chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin. Clinical examination revealed profuse watery salivation, dyspnea, protrusion of tongue, muscle fasciculation, miosis along with hyperthermia and tachycardia. The animal was successfully managed by atropine sulphate along with supportive therapy and completely recovered after four days of treatment.
