Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Wildlife Rehabilitation
  • Clinical Pathology

Background:

  • Brown pelicans face threats from environmental disasters and human activities, requiring medical care.
  • Accurate diagnostic and monitoring tools are crucial for rehabilitating brown pelicans.
  • Existing reference intervals for this species are outdated and based on small sample sizes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish updated reference intervals for venous analytes in brown pelicans.
  • To assess the suitability of the Abaxis VSPro for measuring fibrinogen in avian species.

Main Methods:

  • Blood samples were collected from 71 presumed healthy brown pelicans during pre-release examinations.
  • Analyzed venous analytes using Abaxis VS2 Avian/Reptile Chemistry panel, iSTAT CG4+, and iSTAT Chem8+.
  • Measured fibrinogen using heat precipitation (gold standard) and the Abaxis VSPro for comparison.

Main Results:

  • Proposed reference intervals for various blood analytes in brown pelicans were determined.
  • Fibrinogen measurements from the Abaxis VSPro were not comparable to the gold standard method.
  • The Abaxis VSPro is not recommended for fibrinogen analysis in brown pelicans.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides essential updated reference intervals for brown pelican hematology and clinical chemistry.
  • The findings highlight the limitations of the Abaxis VSPro for avian fibrinogen testing.
  • Accurate species-specific reference intervals are vital for effective wildlife rehabilitation and conservation.
