Relationship between Blood Parameters and Outcome in Rescued Roe Deer

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Given that wild animal hospitalisations are increasing, veterinary knowledge of wildlife medicine needs to be improved along with more effective clinical and diagnostic procedures. A blood test can be a quick and minimally invasive way of gathering useful clinical information. This study evaluates the haematological and biochemical parameters in injured roe deer and discusses their values in relation to animal hospitalisation outcomes. The study was conducted on a cohort of 98 roe deer divided into groups based on age and hospitalisation outcome. A panel of haematological and biochemical parameters was performed for each animal. Significant differences were found within both the unweaned and weaned groups. Creatine kinase, creatinine, and bilirubin may be useful indicators to correlate with the severity of trauma. ABSTRACT: Veterinary facility admissions of wild animals are increasing alongside the interest in wildlife diseases. To improve animal welfare, it is therefore important to increase veterinarians’ knowledge of wild animal medicine and to improve the clinical and diagnostic procedures, especially in the case of patients affected by trauma or multiple traumas. Blood analysis can be a quick and minimally invasive way of gathering useful clinical information for adequate treatment and management, and, together with a good clinical examination, to help predict hospitalisation outcomes. Few papers have reported reference ranges for the haematological and biochemical parameters of roe deer. This study evaluates the haematological and biochemical parameters in traumatised roe deer in relation to animal hospitalisation outcomes. The study was carried out on a cohort of 98 roe deer divided into groups according to their age and hospitalisation outcome. For each animal, a panel of haematological and biochemical parameters was performed. Significant differences were found between unweaned (<4 months old) groups in terms of MCV, MCH, CK, creatinine, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and indirect bilirubin, and between weaned (>4 months old) groups for total bilirubin. Creatine kinase, creatinine, and bilirubin may be useful indicators to correlate with the severity of trauma and help predict prognosis.
