1. {"_":"TOTAL MAXILLARY BEAK RECONSTRUCTION IN A SOLOMON'S COCKATOO () BY USING A SKULL-ANCHORED TITANIUM MESH PLATE PROSTHESIS: A NOVEL SURGICAL APPROACH OVERCOMING KERATIN-DEPENDENT FIXATION LIMITATIONS-A CASE REPORT.","i":["CACATUA DUCORPSII"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Traumatic total maxillary beak avulsion in psittacines presents a significant surgical challenge due to the absence of residual keratinized or osseous tissue for conventional fixation, as well as the beak's critical roles in feeding and behavior. Existing repair techniques rely on anchoring to remaining beak structures and are therefore unsuitable for complete beak loss cases. This report describes a novel surgical approach for total maxillary beak reconstruction in a Solomon's cockatoo () with complete upper beak avulsion caused by intraspecific aggression. A titanium mesh plate was contoured to replicate the natural curvature of the maxillary beak and rigidly anchored to the frontal bone by using cortical screws, providing immediate mechanical stability. The external beak shape and surface were restored using dental acrylic resin to mimic natural keratin texture and form. The prosthesis allowed for early functional recovery, enabling the bird to grasp, manipulate objects, and consume a normal diet within 1 mon postoperatively. This technique addresses the fundamental limitation of keratin-dependent fixation by using the skull as a stable anchorage point, with a titanium mesh plate providing structural support sufficient for functional use. The dental acrylic overlay restores esthetic and functional outcomes critical to quality of life. This novel approach may present a promising surgical option for avian patients in cases of total rhinotheca loss previously considered beyond surgical repair.

2. {"_":"COMPARISON OF AXILLARY, RECTAL, AND ESOPHAGEAL THERMOMETRY IN ANESTHETIZED LARGE FLYING FOXES ().","i":["PTEROPUS VAMPYRUS"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Hypothermia is a common potentially serious complication of veterinary anesthesia, particularly affecting species with a large body surface area-to-mass ratio, such as Chiroptera. There are limited options for monitoring temperature in bats, with size being a significant limiting factor. This study evaluated three methods of temperature measurement-esophageal, rectal, and axillary-in a convenience sample of nine apparently healthy anesthetized large flying foxes (). At the time of anesthetic induction and every 5 min until recovery, rectal and esophageal temperatures were recorded. At the same time points, a temperature was obtained in the nonhaired axillary fold by using an infrared thermometer. There were significant differences in the mean temperatures obtained between sites at each time interval ( < 0.05). Esophageal temperature was consistently the lowest, with axillary and rectal temperature averaging -15 and -17°C (5.1 and 1.3°F) higher, respectively. Esophageal measurements correlated strongly with rectal temperatures ( < 0.0001), whereas axillary/esophageal and axillary/rectal correlations approached significance ( = 0.0519 and = 0.0562, respectively). Esophageal thermometry should be used for accurate body temperature measurement in anesthetized large flying foxes if practical, with the rectal modality remaining an option for monitoring trends over time. Further research is necessary to validate the use of axillary thermometry with an infrared thermometer for monitoring temperature trends in this bat species.

3. BLOOD COLLECTION FROM THE VENTRAL TAIL BASE IN SELECTED SMALL MAMMAL SPECIES.
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Blood collection from the base of the tail was successfully performed in six mammalian species housed at the Ljubljana Zoo, Slovenia. This method demonstrated high success rates in black-and-white ruffed lemurs (), Goeldi's marmosets (), squirrel monkeys (), long-tailed chinchillas (), edible dormice (), and meerkats (), with procedural success rates ranging from 53% to 100%. The technique offers several advantages over other venipuncture sites, including the avoidance of general anesthesia, reduction in animal handling time, enhanced handler safety, and high-quantity and quality sampling in diverse small mammals. The procedural methodology, including needle gauge selection and anatomical approach, is described. The utility of this technique in clinical and research settings is discussed, underscoring its applicability as a minimally invasive and reliable method for routine or urgent sampling in diverse zoo mammals.

4. {"_":"CLINICAL CHEMISTRY AND HEMATOLOGIC REFERENCE INTERVALS OF CAPTIVE RACCOONS () IN GERMANY.","i":["PROCYON LOTOR"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Raccoons () are widespread in Central and North America and invasive in Europe and other parts of the world, where they are regularly presented at wildlife rescue centers and often require medical care. However, there are limited blood reference intervals for this species to date, even though these values are absolutely necessary to correctly assess animal health. The aim of this study was, therefore, to establish suitable clinical chemistry and hematologic reference intervals for raccoons. Blood was obtained and analyzed from 48 healthy young adult pet raccoons during castration. Twenty-seven clinical chemistry and 16 hematologic analytes were determined with a cobas 8000 analyzer series module c701 and Sysmex XN-V analyzer. Significant differences between males and females were only found for the immature reticulocyte fraction ( = 0.0273) and the mean corpuscular volume ( = 0.0064). This suggests that there are no strong sex-specific differences at this age and physiologic state (i.e., not pregnant or lactating). The results of this study should help to better assess the clinical condition of raccoons in human care and improve medical care.

5. {"_":"EVALUATION OF A NOVEL POINT-OF-CARE VISCOELASTIC COAGULATION MONITOR WITH COMPARISON TO THROMBOELASTOGRAPHY AND CONVENTIONAL COAGULATION PARAMETERS IN MANAGED CARE CHIMPANZEES ().","i":["PAN TROGLODYTES"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Cardiovascular and neoplastic disease are common morbidities in managed care chimpanzees (). Despite the potential for these states to induce hemostatic derangements, coagulation assessments remain poorly explored in this species. A portable, point-of-care device, such as VCM Vet (VCM), may be advantageous for evaluating coagulation kinetics in zoological and field settings opposed to laboratory thromboelastography (TEG) or conventional coagulation parameter (CCP) assays. Using whole blood opportunistically collected from anesthetized chimpanzees (n = 26), this study investigated proof of concept for VCM, established reference values for VCM clot formation and clot strength parameters, compared VCM profiles across sex, age, and sample collection characteristics, and compared clinical interpretations of VCM to plasma-based TEG and CCP. Samples from 25 chimpanzees were analyzed with the VCM, all of which produced interpretable kinetic tracings without error. Reference values were established based on results from 21 healthy chimpanzees from this sample population. Relative to established reference values in domestic dogs, cats, and horses, chimpanzees formed strong clots at a fast rate. Female chimpanzees formed significantly stronger clots than males, and older chimpanzees (>30 yr old) formed clots significantly faster than younger chimpanzees (≤30 yr old) (p < 0.05). Additionally, baseline values derived from descriptive statistics were reported for plasma-based TEG and CCP based on results from 19 healthy chimpanzees from the sample population. Comparisons made visually between VCM and TEG tracings, and between clinical interpretations for VCM, TEG, and CCP, support that these diagnostics may provide similar clinical information, although complete corroboration was limited due to evaluation in predominately healthy chimpanzees. This foundational dataset provides key reference values to encourage use of coagulation assessments and improve standard of care for chimpanzees in managed settings.

6. PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF SERUM CAPILLARY ZONE ELECTROPHORESIS IN SIX NONDOMESTIC BOVID SPECIES.
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Serum protein electrophoresis is a tool widely used in veterinary medicine to aid in the detection of inflammation as well as monoclonal and polyclonal gammopathies. The use of agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) has previously been described in some non-domesticated mammals, including the bongo and pronghorn antelope as well as in cattle. Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) represents a new method that provides a higher resolution and lower coefficient of variation. In the present study, banked samples (n = 24-30) of adult addax (), gemsbok (), sable antelope (), scimitar horned oryx (), waterbuck (), and common wildebeest () were examined to describe the CZE electrophoretogram and determine preliminary reference intervals. Interestingly, interspecies differences were observed with a lower A/G ratio in the addax, gemsbok, and sable antelope versus the scimitar horned oryx, waterbuck, and wildebeest. This was mostly related to the overall higher alpha and beta globulins in the former group. In addition, albumin quantitated by CZE was also compared to albumin levels determined by traditional bromocresol green methodology. While the methods were found to be significantly correlated ( < 0.01), r values ranged from 0.5 to 0.9 and BCG overestimated albumin by 0.16 to 0.52 g/dL. CZE may be a useful diagnostic tool in health assessments and reveal species differences, which may be driven by genetics, subclinical infection, and/or environment.

7. {"_":"PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF SERUM AMYLOID A AND PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS IN THE TIGER () AND LION ().","i":["PANTHERA TIGRIS","PANTHERA LEO"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01Serum protein electrophoresis and acute phase protein quantitation have been demonstrated as important tools in clinical pathology testing of nondomesticated mammals. The goal of this study was to validate a commercially available reagent for serum amyloid A (SAA) and obtain preliminary data for SAA and protein electrophoresis in lions and tigers. Serum samples from 32 tigers (), including 16 clinically normal animals, and 29 lions (), including 22 clinically normal animals, were obtained from private facilities in south and central Florida between 2014 and 2025. SAA was defined as a major acute phase protein (APP) in these species, with 10-100-fold increases in clinically abnormal animals. The SAA reagent was validated for use based on linearity under dilution and coefficient of variation analyses. Given the size of the sample sets, reference intervals were generated for lions and descriptive statistics were performed for tigers. Significant increases in SAA as well as alpha-2 and beta globulins in clinically abnormal vs normal lions and tigers were observed ( < 0.05). This preliminary assessment provides valuable information for the use of SAA and protein electrophoresis and lays the groundwork to establish robust reference intervals as well as a clinical validation of the use of these assays for these two species.

8. RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSES OF THE NEUTROPHIL TO LYMPHOCYTE RATIO IN PRIMATES HOUSED AT A SINGLE ZOO.
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a hematological parameter that has been identified as a biomarker of inflammation and stress. High NLR has been associated with cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, septic shock, and advanced tumors in humans, but research in animals is more limited. Studies utilizing NLR in nonhuman primates have mostly focused on the impacts of age and sex but have also analyzed the effects of rearing and acute stressors. This study included 377 individuals from 23 species of nonhuman primates housed at the Saint Louis Zoo and investigated 1) the effect of demographic differences, including age, sex, and rearing, on NLR; 2) NLR as a marker of stress by comparing NLRs from samples taken during routine examinations versus those taken during clinical events; 3) whether the method of immobilization was associated with differences in NLR; and 4) whether routine NLR was associated with mortality risk. Data were analyzed by species using generalized linear mixed-effect models or, for mortality risk, by taxonomic groups using Cox proportional hazards models. The effects of demographic variables differed by species; for example, the effect of sex on NLR was significant in only four species: mongoose lemurs (), black-and-white ruffed lemurs (), Goeldi's monkeys (), and cotton-top tamarins (). At the taxonomic group level, NLRs from clinical events were significantly higher than those from routine events in lemurs and African and Eurasian monkeys but not Central and South American monkeys or great apes; at the species level, significant differences were observed only in black lemurs (), ring-tailed lemurs (), lion-tailed macaques (), and gorillas (). When NLR varied significantly by the method of immobilization, inhalation and hand injection were associated with the lowest NLRs. Routine NLR did not predict mortality risk for any taxonomic group.

9. {"_":"IMAGING AND ANATOMIC ASPECTS OF THE COXOFEMORAL JOINT OF THE GIANT ANTEATER ().","i":["MYRMECOPHAGA TRIDACTYLA"]}
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01This study evaluated the coxofemoral (CF) joint of the giant anteater () through radiographic and ultrasound imaging and then dissection for proposed surgical approach to arthrotomy procedures. The study evaluated four isolated pelvic limbs fixed in 10% formaldehyde and six intact thawed carcasses. The radiographic assessment was performed with the carcass positioned in frog-legged ventrodorsal and lateral projections. The addition of ultrasound provided imaging of the CF joint. The articular elements presented similar characteristics to other domestic species, such as dogs, bovines, and horses. However, an anatomic particularity of muscle groups in the giant anteater was the intermuscular septum between the tensor fasciae latae and superficial gluteus muscles at the level of the greater trochanter of the femur, which enables a more conservative lateral surgical access to the femoral head and neck.

10. Retrospective Evaluation of Deslorelin Acetate Implant Use in Several Captive Crane Species at One Facility.
PMID:期刊:日期:2026-06-01In captive cranes, chronic reproductive activity, aggression, and feather destructive behaviors are observed, and deslorelin implants have been used at the International Crane Foundation (ICF) to attempt to suppress gonadal hormone production. These sustained-release gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist implants are generally effective in suppressing gonadal activity in mammals for 12-24 mon. However, in birds, the efficacy is substantially less, with greater variation in response and generally a much shorter duration of effect served. For this retrospective study, the medical record database of ICF was searched for deslorelin use in cranes. Thirteen individuals having received a total of 67 implants were identified for inclusion in this retrospective study. Seven species were represented. Cranes received implants to either stop or slow egg production ( = 56 treatments) or improve behaviors such as aggression and feather destructive behavior ( = 11 treatments). There were varied responses, with some individuals continuing to lay eggs an average of 30 d after treatment and others ceasing to lay eggs for the rest of the year. There were also variations in response between years within the same individuals. Aggression improved following treatment ( = 2 treatments total, = 2 individuals). There was minimal response in relation to feather destructive behavior ( = 9 treatments total, = 3 individuals).
