The present study focused on the importance of translocation as stressful event in an endangered cervid species causing fatal consequences during capture operations. Fourteen free-ranging Sardinian red deer (Cervus elaphus corsicanus) have been captured for restocking propose in a protected area of southwestern Sardinia. The cervids were chemically immobilized, transported to a restocking area and released in the wild. Sixteen hours after the release, a pregnant hind was found dead and a complete necropsy was performed. Post-capture blood samples showed increased levels of creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cortisol and potassium and were highly indicative of stress-linked muscle damage. The macro-and microscopic lesions consisted of muscular and cardiac degeneration, and renal injury. In the kidneys, the presence of myoglobin in intratubular casts, detected by immunohistochemistry assay, suggested an acute renal failure associated with myoglobinuric nephrosis as a consequence of rhabdomyolysis. The pathological findings were indicative of capture myopathy in a Cervus elaphus corsicanus. This condition has never been reported in the endangered Corsican red deer. This report underlines that mortality from capture is a risk that must be considered during restocking programs. Further studies are needed to minimize stress to preserve wildlife from the risk of fatal consequences due to human interactions.

“…Bosson et al 2012;Ponjoan et al 2008). Even though some studies claim that using chemical immobilization reduces capture and handling stress (Montané et al 2002;Read et al 2000), we argue that not using anaesthesia can be an advantage: Our procedure meant that beavers were released immediately back into their familiar surroundings (including lodges and burrows for refuge) without adverse affects from anaesthesia and/or surgery. Tagged beavers were quite often observed swimming or foraging shortly after release (F. Rosell, personal communication), which confirms our assumption.…”

“…In particular, determination of effects which occur immediately after releasing the animal is important for researchers working with relatively short-term datasets. Such tagging effects can be assessed via direct observations of tagged individuals (Gendron et al 2014) and/or a control group (Authier et al 2013;RopertCoudert et al 2007), by measuring physiological parameters such as blood sampling (Montané et al 2002;St. Aubin et al 2013) or by using the logged data itself (Broell et al 2016;Rachlow et al 2014).…”

Short-term effects of tagging on activity and movement patterns of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber)

et al. 2016

Bio-logging is becoming increasingly popular amongst wildlife researchers, providing a remote way of monitoring free-ranging animals in their natural habitats. However, capturing and tagging can be stressful and may alter animal behaviour. In this study, we investigated whether tagging altered activity and movement patterns of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) during the first week after release, predicting that beavers would be less active, travel shorter distances and stay closer to the lodge in the first nights after the tagging event. We captured 29 dominant free-ranging beavers (12 females, 17 males) in Telemark county, Norway, and tagged them with GPS units (n = 23; 12 males, 11 females) and triaxial acceleration data loggers (n = 14; 9 males, 5 females). Accelerometer data was used to investigate activity levels (using mean overall dynamic body acceleration ODBA and principal activity periods), while GPS data was used to determine movement patterns (using distance moved and lodge displacement rate). Tagging effects were apparent only in activity levels of beavers, where we found lower mean ODBA values after release although the small effect size (Cohen's d = 0.17) indicates only a minimal difference in activity. Neither principal activity periods nor distances moved or lodge displacement rate changed within the first week after release, which indicates that beavers were active and post-release space use within the territory was not affected by the tagging event in this respect.

“…The significance of the initial dehydration of this animal is not known, and it could have played a role in the pathogenesis of the papillary necrosis. Another possible cause for the renal lesions in the present case could have been associated with possible capture myopathy, as this animal was captured by a good Samaritan; however, reported lesions in cases of capture myopathy include myoglobinuria, renal tubular necrosis, glomerular degeneration, and necrosis in association with a monophasic multifocal myositis, 8,12,13 of which none were identified in this animal. On the basis of the clinical history and pathologic lesions in the deer, it was speculated that NSAID administration caused a marked decrease in synthesis of renal prostaglandins, ultimately resulting in renal papillary necrosis.…”

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug—Associated Renal Papillary Necrosis in a White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus)

Abstract. Renal papillary necrosis was diagnosed during postmortem examination of a juvenile whitetailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from Oklahoma. The deer was surgically treated for a Salter Harris type II fracture of the proximal tibia of the left hind limb. The animal was administered multiple nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including meloxicam, flunixin meglumine, and ketoprofen for pain management. At postmortem examination, gross lesions included a proximal tibial Salter Harris type II fracture with an associated fibrinonecrotizing myositis and bilateral renal papillary necrosis. Histologically, the kidneys exhibited coagulation necrosis of the renal medulla and renal papilla, thrombosis of renal blood vessels, and interstitial medullary edema. The gross and microscopic lesion coupled with the clinical history of multiple NSAID administration suggests NSAID-induced renal papillary necrosis.Key words: Deer; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; renal papillary necrosis.A juvenile, 9.6-kg, female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was presented to Oklahoma State University Boren Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (Stillwater, Oklahoma) for suspected vehicle trauma. On admission, the deer had a heart rate of 168 beats/min, showed signs of discomfort, and was mildly dehydrated. Physical examination indicated a fracture of the left hind limb, and radiographs confirmed a Salter Harris type II fracture of the proximal tibia. The left hind limb was bandaged, and the animal was given a single intravenous dose of 2.2 mg/kg of ketoprofen. aThe following day, the animal was in pain, and surgical repair of the fracture was performed. The left hind limb was aseptically prepared according to standard hospital procedure. A 10-cm incision was made over the medial aspect of the proximal tibia centered over the fracture site. Open reduction of the fracture was performed, and the fracture was stabilized with the use of a cross-pinning technique with Kirschner wires. After pin placement, the fracture was deemed to be stabilized by manual manipulation of the fracture site. The subcutaneous tissues were sutured in a simple continuous pattern with 3-0 PDS* II. b The skin was then closed with 3-0 nylon suture material b in a cruciate pattern. Postoperative radiographs revealed that the pin placement was satisfactory, and the fracture was reduced. Recovery from anesthesia was uneventful.Postoperatively, the deer was given a single intravenous dose of 1.1 mg/kg of flunixin meglumine c and a constantrate infusion of 3.0 mg/kg of fentanyl per hour b ; the fentanyl was discontinued the next day. Additional pain medications administered to the deer for the 2 days after surgery included 1 daily oral dose of 0.2 mg/kg of meloxicam d and multiple subcutaneous doses of 0.3 mg/kg of morphine. d Various drugs were given for pain management in this case because of the availability of drugs and changes in administration route, depending on the stress level of the animal. The deer did not show any clinical signs of imp...
