Raccoon Poisoned By Bread Soaked In Windshield Wiper Fluid Toronto Wildlife Center Says

The animal welfare organization said in a post on its Facebook page that the poison was left in a live trap at an undisclosed location in the city.
He says that when the animal entered the enclosure and consumed the bread, “the door was quickly closed,” trapping it.
“By the time he was found the poor animal was vomiting inside the confined space,” the post reads.  “At the centre, our medical teams immediately went to work to save this young life.  Fluids were used to flush the raccoon’s system, ridding it of the toxic substance.”
The Toronto Wildlife Center says windshield wiper fluid contains methanol, which can cause kidney failure that won’t be detected right away.
For this reason, a decision was made to keep the raccoon at the center under the supervision of a veterinarian for a week.
The animal, however, has since received a clean bill of health and will soon be released.
“After a week of intensive care, Dr. (Diana) Sinclair confirmed that the patient was on the mend and that no internal damage had occurred,” the post notes.  “Since then, the young raccoon has been moved to an outdoor enclosure, able to climb and explore in preparation for his release.”
