Clinical evaluation and therapeutic management of traumatic injuries and complications in the white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) - case report
ABSTRACT The increasing interaction between wildlife and urban environments poses significant challenges to wild animal health and welfare. In this context, the white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) emerges as a relevant specimen, facing adverse impacts resulting from traumatic injuries, often...

| description | ABSTRACT The increasing interaction between wildlife and urban environments poses significant challenges to wild animal health and welfare. In this context, the white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) emerges as a relevant specimen, facing adverse impacts resulting from traumatic injuries, often stemming from territorial conflicts and human interactions. This case report aims to discuss the clinical assessment and exploration of therapeutic strategies applied to a rescued white-eared opossum in a debilitated state, with a particular emphasis on its exposure to lead pellet projectiles. The detailed analysis of traumatic injuries, surgical interventions, and associated complications seeks not only to contribute to understanding the clinical response of these marsupials to adverse events but also to provide insights for improving rehabilitation practices and management in similar situations. |
