Bir Kızıl Yanaklı Su Kaplumbağasında Plastronotomi İle Ooforektomi

Sekiz yaşındaki dişi kızıl yanaklı su kaplumbağası (Trachemys scripta elegans) 3 aydır iştahsızlık, solunum güçlüğü ve zayıflama şikayeti ile kliniğimize getirildi. Hastanın detaylı klinik muayenesi, kan tahlilleri, radyolojik, ultrasonografik ve tomografik değerlendirmeleri sonucunda hastada foliküler staz olduğu tespit edildi. Genel anestezi altında plastronotomi uygulanarak solöm boşluğuna girildi ve ooforektomi ile en az 20 folikül uzaklaştırıldı ve plastronotomi açıklığı kapatıldı. Hasta bir hafta kliniğimizde hospitalize edildi ve ardından sağlıklı bir şekilde taburcu edildi. Hasta taburcu edildikten 10 gün sonra kaybedildi.

Oophorectomy with Plastronotomy in a Red-Eared Slider

An 8-year-old female red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) was presented to our clinics with appettite loss for 3 months, dyspneaand weight loss. After clinical examination, complete blood counts, radiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography has beenused for diagnosis. All diagnostic tests with detailed clinical examination clearly showed that the patient had follicular stasis. Plastronotomywas performed to enter the coelomic cavity under general anesthesia. At least 20 Follicles were removed with oophorectomy and theplastronotomy gap was closed. The patient was hospitalized for a week and then discharged with full recovery. The patient has died 10 daysafter discharging.
