Abstract

A wild raccoon (Procyon lotor) had clinical signs, histopathologic and ul-trastructural lesions indicative of lead intoxication. The diagnosis was confirmed by chemical analyses of liver and kidney tissues which revealed 35 ppm of lead in wet tissues. A survey of hepatic lead concentration in 13 additional raccoons was conducted.
