Fluorosis in Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

LARS KARSTAD 1

1 Division of Zoonoses and Wildlife Diseases, Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, Canada

Above normal levels of fluorides were found in the bones of deer in the vicinity of an industrial complex. The sources of fluorides for the deer were water in a pond within the industrial compound and vegetation containing moderately increased levels of fluoride. Mandibular bone fluoride contents of 4300 to 7125 ppm. were associated with pitting and black discoloration of teeth, abnormal tooth wear and fractures of teeth and jaw bones.
