Answer: oil toxicity.
Rationale: "Numerous internal issues" point to systemic poisoning from ingesting or inhaling oil (or absorbing its toxic components), not just external contamination of the fur (oiling). Otters groom themselves and can ingest oil, causing gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, and neurologic damage.
