Relatório de Estágio Supervisionado e Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso - Intoxicação por cumarínicos emduas Jaguatiricas (Leopardus pardalis)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to describe the anatomopathological findings in two ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) poisoned by coumarins in the region of the Minas Gerais triangle and to discuss their possible causalities. A necroscopic examination was performed on two adult male ocelots, found dead on highways in the region of Uberlândia-MG, both had generalized hemorrhage and samples of liver, kidney and stomach contents were collected and sent for toxicology. The two ocelots showed positive results for the presence of coumarin derivatives, determining respiratory failure due to severe diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage caused by exogenous intoxication of coumarin derivatives as the cause of death. Emphasizing that the accidental or intentional cause can not be proven.
