A case of paraquat poisoning in a pack of foxhounds is reported. The incident provided a unique opportunity to compare residues levels of paraquat in dogs showing symptoms of acute and sub-acute poisoning. Paraquat was detected in the urine up to six days after exposure. A high performance liquid chromatography method for determining paraquat in tissue is described.
