Abstract
Birds of prey have become well known for their susceptibility to environmental contaminants. A dramatic drop in the populations of some raptor species during the 1960s and 70s alerted the world to this problem and since then many of the substances responsible have been banned. This chapters assesses poisoning, oncology, cardiovascular disease, nephrology, hepatic disease; and incoordination and fits.

This radiograph of the heart and lung of a roe deer shot with a single bullet shows multiple lead pieces distributed throughout its tissues. Thus, animals killed by shooting, of whatever type, should not be used to feed raptors. (Courtesy of A. Valentin) © 2008 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
