Journal Article
Anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning in farmed Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)
2024
Overview
Background
Anticoagulant rodenticide (AR) poisoning was diagnosed in 3 Patagonian maras (
Dolichotis patagonum
) raised in the mara farm in Thailand. To date, there have been no reports of maras with diagnosed AR poisoning.
Case presentation
The first clinical sign of the sickening maras was anorexia. Fifteen from 50 maras were dead over a 3–5 day period after the clinical signs had occurred. Positive results to AR were detected in all of the maras’ liver specimens by screening test using thin layer chromatography and spectrophotometry methods. Supportive therapy was selected for the treatment of the 35 surviving maras. During the follow – up observation period of 12 months, all of the surviving maras were healthy and no reproductive loss.
Conclusions
This is the first report on suspected AR poisoning in maras in Thailand based on history taking, clinical signs, gross pathology lesions and chemical analysis. AR poisoning in the present report is possibly from contaminated animal food. Therefore, quality control of food should be fastidious when feeding maras.
