If I recall correctly, the Duck-Billed Platypus Males have a poisonous spike/claw.
TECHNICALLY, it is a mammal, just like TECHNICALLY Hillary and Bill are Americans and Human...but that's as FAR as it goes.

Is this a relative?
Cryptotis parva: One defense used by Least Shrews is their saliva. It has venom in it.

I'm sure Vade would be interested in this, which is why I pinged him, too. So you're off the hook if you don't think it's one for the list.

A small, fossilized mammal had what appears to be poisonous fangs that allowed it to bite like a snake – the first such find in an extinct mammal, Canadian researchers say.Venomous mammals are not extinct. There are plenty of them in Congress, the MSM and university faculties.

"A small, fossilized mammal had what appears to be poisonous fangs that allowed it to bite like a snake – the first such find in an extinct mammal"
It's nonsense, everyone knows that other than asteroids only humans cause extinctions.

The solenodon, a relatively large (for an insectivore), shrew-like mammal found in Cuba and Haiti, also delivers venom through a groove in its tooth. It's considered a living fossil, that last surviving member of a family which dates back to the Creatacous but I don't know if it's related to the critter described in the article.
