The arctic fox that was first spotted near the Sellwood Bridge and later captured in Portland in October is now sick with ‘salmon poisoning’ — about a week after she was transferred from the Oregon Zoo to the Ochsner Park Zoo in Wisconsin. The disease — which is common in the Pacific Northwest — is caused by a bacterial infection from eating raw salmon that contains a parasitic flatworm, the Ochsner Park Zoo said in a statement. It can damage the liver and kidney; the zoo believes Luna was infected while she was loose in Portland.
