Abstract

A free-living black bear (Ursus americanus) with cerebellar ataxia and occasional unilateral epistaxis was given supportive care. Neurologic signs resolved within 7 d; however, the epistaxis progressed and the bear developed pancytopenia and died. Adipose tissue tested positive for desmethylbromethalin, while liver samples were negative for anticoagulant rodenticides and other toxic agents.
