Experimental lead-poisoning in dogs

Abstract

Abstract Extract Although the dangers of lead and its compounds to farm animals, especially cattle, have been recognized for many years, there are few recorded cases of lead-poisoning in dogs. Mitchell (1940 Mitchell, C. A. 1940. Canad. J. comp. Med., 4: 170–173. [PubMed] , [Google Scholar]) describes the clinical picture and post-mortem findings in one case and also comments on the dearth of information. Both Lieberman (1948 Lieberman, L. L. 1948. North Amer. Vet., 29: 574–577. [PubMed] , [Google Scholar]) and Bond and Kubin (1949 Bond, E. and Kubin, R. 1949. Vet. Med., 44: 118–123. [PubMed] , [Google Scholar]) report on a number of cases examined by them at their clinics.
