A golden hornbill (Rhyticeros undulates), male, one year old, reported clinical signs that one of the legs was limping. Based on the X-ray examination reported that there was a fracture of the tibiotarsus bone. External skeletal fixation (ESF) was performed for connecting bones using size 1,2 pins. The general anesthetic used was a combination of zolazepam-tiletamine at a dose of 5 mg/kgBW and given 0,1 mg/kgBW meloxicam. Postoperative therapy includes enrofloxacin at a dose of 15 mg/kg intramuscularly, dexamethasone at a dose of 0,2 mg/kgBW intramuscularly, and Osteocare® at a dose of 5 mg/kg orally. After five days postoperatively, the bird's condition had returned to normal. It can be concluded that fractures in birds can be treated using the ESF method.

This study aims to compare PLT (Platelet) and MPV (Mean Platelet Volume) in domestic pet cats and stray cats in Surabaya. This examination uses a blood sample with a total of 30 samples of domestic pet cats and 30 samples of stray cats. PLT and MPV were determined by Pacar Laboratory Surabaya. The results showed that 4 samples of cats that had abnormal PLT and MPV values with an average PLT of PLT 86,25 10^3/µL and an average MPV 6,95 fL, while 30 samples were obtained in domestic pet cats there were samples of cats that abnormal PLT and MPV values with an average PLT 94,5 10^3/µL and an average MPV 8,98 fL. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test for Windows with a significant level of 0,05. The result of data analysis showed not significant. In conclusion between domestic pets cats and stray cats was that the treatment did not experience a significant difference because the care and feeding were almost the same.
