Abstract
- The article presents a case study of a white-tailed deer herd in southern Saskatchewan with chronic selenium (Se) toxicosis and showing signs of anorexia, weight loss and lameness. It reveals that the concentration of Se in the liver reaches about 2.7 to 8.97 mg/kg net weight accompanied with signs of myocardial necrosis, mineralization and fibroplasias. It also discusses the clinical and pathological findings associated with a case of Se toxicosis in a herd of farmed white-tailed deer.
