Abstract
At necropsy, a mature muskox cow was found to have exceedingly low ser
um and liver copper concentrations of 4.8 = mu mol/L and 0.02 mmol/kg,
respectively. Serum copper levels were also low in remaining members
of the herd but returned to normal after parenteral treatment with cal
cium copper edetate.
