Contact your private veterinarian if you suspect your animals have been exposed to arsenic. Some common clinical symptoms include sudden death, weakness, staggering, trembling with intense abdominal pain characterized by groaning, grinding the teeth, and kicking the abdomen. If cattle live from six or more hours, diarrhea is often observed.
