“…9,21 Fractures, especially of the tibia, are always a potential problem. 10 Scientists have studied the architecture of skeletal muscle in different species to determine the force, velocity, and displacement properties of a muscle. However, the dry matter and percentage of calcium is higher in the bones of rabbits than those of cats.…”

“…Mongooses were hazed out of the trap into a cone-shaped canvas bag, physically restrained, and immobilized with an intramuscular injection of TelazolH (tiletaminezolazepam, Fort Dodge Laboratories, Fort Dodge, Iowa, USA) at a dose rate of 5 mg/kg (Kreeger and Arnemo 2007). We collected 0.5-1.0 cc of whole blood by venipuncture of the cranial vena cava, as described for ferrets (Briscoe and Syring 2004), and injected a passive integrated transponder tag (Avid Identification Systems, Inc., Norco, California, USA) subcutaneously between the shoulder blades of each captured mongoose. We used a sterile cotton swab to collect saliva samples and stored swabs in a bovine albumin 1 viral transport medium to reduce potential bacterial or fungal contamination (Shriner et al 2012).…”

The small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) was introduced to several Caribbean Islands to control rat (Rattus spp.) damage to sugarcane plantations. Mongooses failed at suppressing rat populations and are now considered pests throughout most of their introduced range. Importantly, mongooses are rabies reservoirs on several Caribbean Islands. In Puerto Rico, mongooses have been implicated in up to 70% of reported animal rabies cases. There is no rabies vaccination program for wildlife in Puerto Rico, and data on rabies in mongooses are limited. We conducted a serosurvey of mongooses in two different ecologic environments in Puerto Rico: El Yunque National Forest and Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge. We collected 119 serum samples from 112 mongooses, 44 (39.3%) of which were positive for rabies virus-neutralizing antibodies. We also collected oral swabs from 147 mongooses, including 88 from which we also collected serum. No oral swabs were positive for rabies virus RNA. Our data support previous research suggesting rabies virus is circulating within the mongoose population on Puerto Rico.

“…It was an acute state, since the haematocrit and red blood cell count was still in normal levels. The treatment of an acute lung haemorrhage includes localization and compression of bleeding vessels, together with enabling patency of the airways (Briscoe and Syring, 2004). As a supportive treatment, an infusion of solutions with glucose and the administration of B vitamins and vitamin K are indicated (Wellehan and Gunkel, 2004).…”

A six year old male iguana (Iguana iguana) was brought to our clinic after a fall from a height of 1.5 meters. The patient showed apathy, dehydration, and paresis of all the limbs. Postural reflexes, palpebral reflex, and response to painful stimuli were minimal. The patient had extremely high levels of uric acid (1 734.0 µmol/l) and phosphorus (9.80 mmol/l), ratio of calcium to phosphorus (0.18), leucocytosis (23.3×109 /l) with heterophilia (17.10×10 9 /l), and high activity of ALT, AST and CK (2.09, 6.59, and 260.0 µkat/l). Tracheoscopy and pneumoscopy revealed presence of blood clots in the trachea and lungs with haemorrhage within the parenchyma. Based on the results of the clinical examination, endoscopy and laboratory diagnostics, the clinical diagnosis was chronic kidney failure, liver lipidosis and lung haemorrhage. Because of a very poor prognosis, the patient was euthanised. At necropsy, the signs of visceral gout and hepatomegaly with diffuse yellowish white discoloration and with dotted brown pigmentation were also observed. The kidneys were enlarged, and stained brown grayish. The gross and histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of visceral gout, chronic kidney failure, liver steatosis and granulomatous pneumonia, with lung haemorrhage associated with urate deposits in lung tissue and posttraumatic status.
