Lead toxicosis of captive vultures: Case description and responses to chelation therapy

Original language description

Soil contamination by lead-based paint sanded off the steel aviary resulted in poisoning of eight Cinereous and two Egyptian Vultures. A male Egyptian Vulture developed signs of apathy, polydipsia, polyuria, regurgitation, and stupor, and died on the next day. Liver, kidney and blood lead concentrations were 12.2, 8.16 and 2.66 ug/g, respectively. Blood Pb levels of Pb-exposed Cinereous Vultures were 1.571 +/- 0.510 ug/g shortly after intoxication, decreased to 0.530 +/- 0.165 ug/g without any therapy in a month and to 0.254 +/- 0.097 ug/g one month after CaNa2EDTA administration. Eight months later, blood lead levels decreased to close to the background of the control group. Blood parameters of healthy Pb-non-exposed Cinereous Vultures were compared with those of the exposed group prior to and after chelation therapy. Iron levels in the lead-exposed pre-treatment birds significantly decreased after chelation. Haematocrit levels in Pb-exposed birds were significantly lower than those o
