Lead poisoning of raccoons in Connecticut.
A wild raccoon (Procyon lotor) had clinical signs, histopathologic and ultrastructural 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.
