Article Synopsis
- A 15-year-old female bottlenose dolphin exhibited symptoms like lethargy, loss of appetite, and pallor, leading to a series of blood tests.
- Analysis revealed severe anemia, high neutrophil count, and the presence of hemoglobin and bilirubin in urine, indicating immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), a rare condition in dolphins.
- After ruling out common triggers and applying immunosuppressive treatment, the dolphin's condition improved, with her blood count returning to normal after three months.
