“…Therefore, only a clinical examination with basic laboratory tests can be performed, such as a fecal and hematologic test, depending on the available equipment in the field. The conventional hematologic test, like a complete blood count, is easy to perform and can reveal numerous indicators of general health conditions (Monks & Forbes, 2007;Jones & Chitty, 2020). Nevertheless, a descriptive morphology of each white blood cell line for differential leukocyte count in one species needs to be determined (Campbell, 2015;Jones & Chitty, 2020).…”

“…The conventional hematologic test, like a complete blood count, is easy to perform and can reveal numerous indicators of general health conditions (Monks & Forbes, 2007;Jones & Chitty, 2020). Nevertheless, a descriptive morphology of each white blood cell line for differential leukocyte count in one species needs to be determined (Campbell, 2015;Jones & Chitty, 2020). This is especially so in our case, when the small lymphocyte size in eagles is identical to their solitary platelet size, which may obscure the cell determination during the total white blood cell counting.…”

Providing qualitative and quantitative haematologic references of neglected captive wild animals is pivotal for the sanctuary health management and improvement. Changeable hawk eagles (Nisaetus chirratus) are abundantly kept in sanctuary in which no haematologic reference is ever reported. This study aimed to present the visual keys and morphometric references of changeable hawk eagles’ blood cells as the standard for further haematologic count. The peripheral blood smears were prepared and collected from eight changeable hawk eagles kept at Wildlife Rescue Centre Jogja then stained with 10-fold diluted Giemsa stain following the standard manners. All slides were inspected and captured under camera-equipped microscope which then were morphologically and morphometrically evaluated using ImageJ version 1.52a. As the changeable hawk eagles are naturally present in dark and bright morph, we statistically compared the blood cells morphometric parameters between morph-based groups. Changeable hawk eagles’ erythrocytes were oval shaped with occasional morphologic variation. Leukocyte consisted of polymorphonucleated granulocytes - with exception of basophils which lacked nuclear lobulation - and mononucleated agranulocytes. There were significant differences (P<0.05) of all erythrocyte morphometric parameters, heterophils diameter, and lymphocytes diameter between dark and bright morph group. Overall, the morphologic properties of changeable hawk eagles’ blood cells were visually identical to other avian species though the blood cells morphometry might be comparatively different.

BackgroundLop‐eared rabbits may be predisposed to otitis externa (OE) as a consequence of their ear conformation. Although otoscopy, otic cytological evaluation and culture are valuable tools in dogs and cats, published data on rabbits remain lacking.Hypothesis/ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the utility of otoscopy and cytological results in evaluating healthy rabbit external ear canals (EECs) and to characterise ear cytological and microbiological findings through culture techniques and metagenomic sequencing.AnimalsSixty‐three otitis‐free client‐owned rabbits.Materials and MethodsAll rabbits underwent otoscopy and ear cytological evaluation. In a subset of 12 rabbits, further bacterial and fungal culture, fungal DNA assessment and metagenomic sequencing were performed.ResultsOtic cytological results revealed yeast in 73%, cocci in 42.9% and rods in 28.6% of healthy rabbit EECs. Compared to upright‐eared rabbits, lop‐eared rabbits had more discharge and more bacteria per oil immersion field. Culture isolated eight different species yet metagenomic sequencing identified 36, belonging to the Bacillota (Firmicutes), Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota phyla. Staphylococcus were the most commonly observed species with both methods. Ten of 12 rabbits were yeast‐positive on cytological evaluation with only three yielding fungal growth identified as Yarrowia (Candida) lipolytica, Eurotium echinulatum and Cystofilobasidium infirmominiatum.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceHealthy rabbit EECs lack inflammatory cells yet can host yeast and bacteria, emphasising the need to evaluate cytological results alongside the clinical signs. Lop‐ear anatomy may predispose to bacterial overgrowth and OE. Notably, yeasts may be present despite a negative culture.
