opper intoxication is one of the leading causes of intoxication mortality in sheep. The clinical and anatomopathological signs are similar to those of other diseases. Thus, several cases become inconclusive when analytical techniques are not used in the diagnosis. This study reports the case of a Hampshire Dow ram that was transferred to the Veterinary Clinics Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul with clinical signs of copper intoxication. The animal showed apathy, weight and appetite loss, dyspnea, cough, nasal secretion, and black colored urine and diarrhea. The ram was purchased at an animal exhibition fair and had remained in intensive management receiving amounts of concentrate over the dietary requirement two months prior and during the event. Four days after the appearance of clinical signs the animal was admitted to the hospital and support therapy was established, with fluid therapy, amino acids and glucose supplementation. Sodium sulfate, ammonium molybdate, toxin adsorbent and mucosal protectors were administered. After 34 days of intensive treatment, the patient showed improvement of the clinical condition and was discharged. Based on historic, species sensitivity, clinical signs, results of laboratory tests, improvement of the clinical condition and positive response to therapeutics, it is suggested the clinical condition of cumulative cupric poisoning. No specific histochemical analysis for copper marking was performed. The study consists of literary review, clinical and laboratory characteristics of intoxication, conduct for treatment and diagnosis, contributing, thus, to the understanding of the disease and reducing new cases occurrence.
