Resumo: dc.description.abstractWild populations of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) have suffered an alarming decline in recent decades. The condition of the species has gone from being endangered to a critical in countries such as Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Despite the scant information on this species in the country, it is known that this species is drastically declining in the countries that make up the northern Andes. According to experts, it is estimated that only around 150 individuals remain in Colombia. 1. The main threat facing this species is humans and the mistaken belief about its supposed predatory activity on livestock, lead poisoning is the most common form of heavy metal toxicity in birds and is now probably the most frequent poisoning induced in birds. Worldwide. Both free-living and captive birds are at risk of lead poisoning 23. Additionally, lead chelation treatment, which is carried out with calcium disodium edetate, is not easily accessible in Colombia, which makes medical management of this type of situation difficult, placing the conservation of this species at risk. This case report shows the management of two cases of lead poisoning in the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) in the wild, from bioregulatory medicine, thanks to which they could be successfully released in record time. Finally, this report will contribute to the clinical management of this type of conditions not only in the species in question but also in other animals and even in the reformulation of the management of acute and chronic exposures to lead in humans.pt_BR
