Sweet clover poisoning primarily results from the ingestion of moldy sweet clover hay containing coumarin, which is converted to toxic dicoumarol. Symptoms include prolonged bleeding, weakness, lameness, swelling, and in severe cases, internal bleeding and death. Affected animals may show signs of anemia, such as pale mucous membranes, and may have difficulty breathing or moving. Prompt veterinary intervention is crucial for affected animals.
