Abstract:
A captive white-winged wood duck (Cairina scutulata) with bilateral epistaxis and anemia (packed cell volume = 16%) was treated with injectable and oral vitamin K1 and transfused with 40 ml whole blood. Brodifacoum was detected in blood at 0.002 ppm. The bird made an uneventful recovery. This report illustrates the risk of anticoagulant pest control products in a zoological setting.
