Objective: To provide reference values for ocular examination and diagnostics in ophthalmologically normal sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps). To retrospectively determine the prevalence of ocular diseases in sugar gliders presenting to a single institution.
Animals: Ten client owned and 106 previously evaluated sugar gliders.
Article Synopsis
- Failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPT) in calves can increase health issues and mortality, and managing it in nondomestic species like sitatunga can be complicated and costly without specific data.
- This study focused on 22 sitatunga calves to identify proper passive transfer parameters, comparing them to existing data from other species, revealing that sitatunga have notably lower normal values for FPT parameters.
- Out of the healthy calves reviewed, discrepancies in zinc sulfate turbidity test results indicated challenges in assessing FPT, highlighting the variability even between closely related species.
