    Summary

    Pregnancy toxemia in a squirrel monkey was successfully treated with ovariohysterectomy. This case highlights incomplete abortion and hydrometra as potential complications during primate gestation.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Primate Reproduction
    • Reproductive Pathology

    Background:

    • Pregnancy toxemia is a metabolic disorder that can affect pregnant animals.
    • Squirrel monkeys are common research models, making their reproductive health critical.

    Observation:

    • A 6-year-old, primiparous female squirrel monkey presented with signs of pregnancy toxemia at approximately 100 days of gestation.
    • Clinical signs included lethargy and anorexia, indicative of metabolic distress.

    Findings:

    • Ovariohysterectomy was performed, leading to complete recovery with supportive care.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed incomplete abortion and hydrometra.

    Implications:

    • This case demonstrates a successful surgical intervention for pregnancy toxemia in a squirrel monkey.
    • Understanding these reproductive pathologies is crucial for primate conservation and research.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can improve outcomes in pregnant non-human primates.
