Abstract:
In a diagnostic survey of diseases in wild white-tailed deer (62 cases) and mule deer (12 cases) the most common findings were traumatic injury (20%), nontraumatic hemorrhage (13%), polioencephalomalacia (11%), and bacterial infections (9%). Although epizootic hemorrhagic disease was suspected in several cases, the virus was isolated from only 1 white-tailed deer.
