Abstract
A wild raccoon dog with poor general condition was rescued and sent to an animal hospital. On physical examination, the raccoon dog showed unconsciousness and bone fracture with neutrophilia. The animal died in spite of 3 day's treatment with administration of lactic Ringer's solution. Pathological examination revealed systemic hemorrhage, formation of fibrin thrombi and multifocal micro-necrotic lesions. These findings suggest that the animal was in a condition of the multiple organ failure resulting from traumatic shock.
