A technique is submitted of separation of blood serum into constituent fractions with subsequent assaying of cytolytic activity (toxicity) of each of the blood substances relative to autologous leukocytes. The elaborated techniques for the study into toxicity permits not only ascertaining the presence of toxicosis together with degree of its severity but also gives the clinician an opportunity to individualize the multicomponent detoxicating therapy indications.

Objective: To evaluate avian patients presented to a wildlife rehabilitation facility with confirmed lead toxicity for clinical signs associated with blood lead level groups, efficacy of subcutaneous chelation therapy with calcium disodium EDTA, and case outcome based on presenting blood lead levels.
Methods: A retrospective record review of 95 avian cases representing 19 species treated for lead toxicosis from a wildlife rehabilitation center in Wisconsin between 2014 and 2023 was conducted. Data were evaluated for presenting complaints, clinical signs, radiographic findings, chelation therapy protocol, clinical pathology data, and case outcome.
