Abstract: | Lead toxicosis was diagnosed in a 3-week-old male goshawk after evaluation of the history, clinical signs, radiographic lesions, and laboratory values. Treatment with Ca-EDTA and supportive measures was successful. The presumed source of lead was from birds that had been shot with a pellet gun and used for food. |
