Hematologic and biochemical reference intervals for captive Tsushima leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus): Effects of origin, sex, age, and anesthesia
The Tsushima leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus) is an endangered felid endemic to Tsushima Island, for which conservation breeding programs have been established. However, the lack of species-specific clinicopathological r...

Immersion euthanasia of trumpet snails (Melanoides tuberculata) using household and clinical solutions
Aquatic invertebrate euthanasia is an area of increasing interest, though evidence-based euthanasia methods are minimal. This study investigated multiple household and clinical solutions for immersion euthanasia of trumpet snails (Melano...

A cross-sectional survey of the gut microbiome in zoo-housed herbivores: associations between taxonomic deviations and individual health status
The health management of zoo-housed animals is important. Although clinical examinations are essential for health monitoring of the animals, many of them exhibit noncooperative behavior during examinations. It is therefore necessary to d...

Effects of dexmedetomidine on lung radiodensity in green iguanas (Iguana iguana)
Green iguanas (Iguana iguana) are common in wildlife centers and zoos and in the exotic pet trade, but they require specialized care. Veterinarians may need to obtain diagnostic-quality images and bloodwork without risking injury to the ...

Evidence of subclinical encephalomyocarditis virus infection in nonhuman primates in managed care
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV-1) is a known cause of fatal myocarditis in captive nonhuman primates, but subclinical infection has not previously been documented. This retrospective study investigated evidence of subclinical EMCV-1 in...

Morbidity and mortality in bee-eater (Meropidae) species at zoological institutions
Bee-eaters (order Coraciiformes, family Meropidae) are small (30–40-g) insectivorous birds cared for in several zoological institutions; however, a paucity of literature exists for this avian family. Between 2014 and 2024, 163 bee-eaters...

Clinical use of a portable anesthesia machine with an oxygen concentrator in zoo-housed wild animals (Panthera onca, Ammotragus lervia, and Oryx dammah)
Field procedures in zoo-housed wild animals commonly rely on injectable anesthesia, but the application of inhalant anesthesia is often limited by the lack of reliable oxygen delivery systems. This case series evaluated the clinical util...

Evaluation of serum symmetric dimethylarginine as a renal biomarker in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) has been reported to be potentially more sensitive in identifying renal impairment than blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in dogs and cats. SDMA has been evaluated in multiple domestic and zoologic spec...

Field euthanasia of adult lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens): Evaluation of euthanasia using a penetrating captive bolt
Field work involving large fish, such as adult lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens), may present unanticipated scenarios necessitating euthanasia. Given the multiple challenges that can arise in these scenarios, it is not always straight...
