BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF OPHTHALMIC PARAMETERS IN THE GREATER ONE-HORNED RHINOCEROS (RHINOCEROS UNICORNIS)

Abstract: Five healthy captive greater one-horned rhinoceroses (Rhinoceros unicornis) were evaluated with standing sedation (detomidine hydrochloride 20-30 mg and butorphanol tartrate 50-60 mg per animal) to determine baseline values for tear production, intraocular pressure (IOP), conjunctival flora, and ocular anatomy using brightness mode transpalpebral ultrasonography with a 4- to 7-MHz broadband curvilinear transducer. The mean Schirmer tear test I value was 18.2 ± 3.49 mm/min. The mean IOP measured using applantat… Show more

“…The aim of the systematic review was to collect typical IOPs for healthy adult species of vertebrates; therefore, some aspects of the variations in IOP within each group of vertebrates were not included in the study. While in healthy animals the IOP is generally not significantly different in the left and right eye [ 40 , 41 , 43 , 53 , 56 59 , 64 66 , 69 , 74 76 , 79 , 85 , 88 , 91 , 92 , 98 , 103 , 111 , 114 , 114 , 117 , 122 127 , 132 ] or in males and females [ 41 , 43 , 56 , 58 , 63 , 65 , 69 , 74 , 75 , 79 , 85 , 88 , 91 , 92 , 103 , 114 , 121 124 , 126 , 132 , 133 ], it has been found to change with position in flamingos and bats.

“…Ophthalmic cases in the horse and donkey are reported more frequently and to a lesser extent in rhinoceros [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].
