Wouldn’t consuming prey poisoned by them mean they’re endlessly eating their own waste again and again?

Yup. It just becomes more concentrated. Some constituents degrade in the chemical reaction of breaking down flesh (not the toxic fluid’s only purpose, just a side effect) to create inert byproducts, so technically less is left over than is injected, but it just gets reabsorbed, filtered and concentrated. Early Veei also expressed anger by shooting it and could also develop stones in their palps from the poison getting so thick it solidified (which often ended up in loss of that palp’s functionality as a weapon), whereas Veei currently extrude the nasty stuff every now and then as an act of self-maintenance, having long become civilized to the point of never squirting it at people when they are angry.

I have no idea what’s going on here,

*ahehmhemhem*

I’m inferring that Veeus digestive systems filter out undigestible matter and toxins that would normally be excreted as solid waste and dissolve it into a highly concentrated liquid that gets refined multiple times by their systems (the product of that is excreted in that ‘urine’ I described). The highly concentrated, toxic and by now fermented concentrate is brought away from the digestive systems and into their head to be dispersed into their cranial palps where it can be injected by way of the 1 to 2 inch hooks hiding in them.

Poop. It’s poop. 

I mean not really but that’s the running gag and whenever its explained to Via Lacteans they seem to immediately go there, mentally.
