History

A 33-year-old 2.3-kg (5.06-lb) female African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) was euthanized by IV injection of pentobarbital sodium because of chronic regurgitation and associated weight loss, and the carcass was submitted for diagnostic evaluation. The penguin was kept in an indoor-outdoor enclosure with 8 other African penguins. Prior to euthanasia, treatment of the penguin had included famotidine (2.5 mg, PO, q 12 h), sucralfate (1 g, PO, q 12 h), meloxicam (0.21 mg, IM, q 24 h), and enrofloxacin (30 mg, PO, q 12 h).

 Gross Findings

A complete necropsy revealed the penguin was in good nutritional status.

History

An approximately 5-year-old free-ranging female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was harvested in Louisiana. The hunter reported that the deer was in poor body condition and had multiple nodular lesions present throughout the liver. Fresh samples of the liver, heart, lungs, spleen, and kidneys were obtained by a biologist from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and submitted to the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study in Athens, Ga, for diagnostic evaluation.

 Gross Findings

Throughout the examined section of liver, there were multifocal to coalescing, round (1- to 4-cm-diameter), raised, tan, nodular lesions that contained yellow purulent fluid.
