Hepatic hemosiderosis is a common nutritional disease affecting numerous bird species. The aim of this study was to validate the use of pinch hepatic biopsies to quantify the hepatic iron in Asian glossy starlings (AGS) and compare clinical measures usable for antemortem disease monitoring. Following euthanasia, serum, liver pinch biopsies, and who...
The establishment of prognostic indicators in wildlife patients aids clinical decision-making and resource allocation. Hematological and plasma biochemical parameters were evaluated as potential prognostic indicators in wild Temminck’s pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. In this prospective cohort study, EDTA and...
Gastric adenocarcinomas have been sporadically reported in camelids. This report describes a primary gastric adenocarcinoma and subsequent peritoneal carcinomatosis in a 20-year-old female Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus). Numerous metastases were present throughout the omentum, liver, abdominal lymph nodes, intestinal serosa, kidneys and lungs....
The Temminck's ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) faces numerous anthropogenic threats making rehabilitation and release programs are an important component in maintaining a sustainable in-situ population. 3 Successful rehabilitation of pangolins is reliant on prompt disease detection and early veterinary intervention; however, clinical assessmen...
A juvenile Temminck's pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) weighing 3.5 kg presented following confiscation from the illegal wildlife trade (IWT). Streptococcus anginosus was cultured from an ulcerated lesion on the palmar aspect of the right forelimb. Despite topical and systemic treatment with appropriate antimicrobials, the wound progressed proximally...
An adult female Temminck's pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade presented with an ulcerated lesion of the right forelimb. Neurologic signs and tonic spasms characteristic of tetanus developed after 5 d. Despite supportive treatment, the pangolin died. Tetanus has not previously been reported in any pangolin spec...
The global population of Temminck's ground pangolins (Smutsia temminckii) is declining, largely due to the illegal wildlife trade. 1 Pangolin-related arrests within Malawi are at an all-time high. Confiscated pangolins may be in the trade with inadequate husbandry and nutrition for days, and their compromised conditions often require veterinary int...
Diagnosis of foot disease in elephants is challenging. Owing to their large size, the available diagnostic tools and the expense of imaging are diagnostically limiting. Stereoradiography is the preparation of paired radiographs that form a three-dimensional (3D) image when viewed stereoscopically. Clinicians and veterinary students graded osteoarth...
Foot disease is one of the most important health conditions of captive elephants, but treatment is hindered by the limitations of diagnostic imaging. Despite the high value of individual animals, advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are currently not possible in live elephant feet. A pilo...
