This is to stop the hedgehog (Colin Seiden). What will you do when you find that the hedgehog on the roadside expands to the size of a beach ball? Sure, take him to the vet to see the deflation. This happened in 20 17. A Scottish man met a wild hedgehog and suffered from a rare disease called balloon syndrome. This hedgehog was later named led zeppelin by rescuers. Its lungs burst and air slowly leaked into its body cavity, causing it to expand like a balloon. The vet made some small incisions on led zeppelin's skin to reduce it to normal size. The prickly patient recovered quickly. [Learn more about inflatable hedgehogs]
Unbearable swelling
(Royal (Dick) Veterinary College) In 20 16, two Asian black bears were rescued from illegal trade in Myanmar, but the worst has not yet come. One of the bears, nicknamed "Niantai", has swollen tongue due to infection. When playing, the rubber body part dragged along the ground, and he could hardly lift his head. After two operations, the veterinarian removed 6.6 pounds (3 kilograms) of the tongue of the Nigerian security department, which was later diagnosed as elephantiasis, a swelling caused by parasites spread by mosquito bites. Niento will be back soon to play with his bear brother. [Read more about bear's extra swollen tongue]
2, 1 deer (Gino D'Angelo et al./University of Georgia) A mushroom hunter found a strange sight while foraging in the forest near the Mississippi River. There is a dead deer in the bush. It has two heads. The poor baby surprised scientists and became the first known twin born in white-tailed deer. Through scanning, the researchers later found that the twins had a spine, two different necks, two heads, two esophagus, two forestomachs and two hearts. Researchers believe that the double-headed miracle may be a stillbirth. But in fact, when they are found, they are fully dressed and in a natural position, and their mothers may try to take care of them after they are born. [Learn more about two-headed deer]
Forehead Teeth (Idaho Department of Fish and Games) A hunter in Idaho couldn't believe his eyes when he was tracking this strange beast: a puma with extra teeth and whiskers on its head.
This is a mystery, why the mountain lion, but wildlife experts have two ideas. Teeth may be the remains of conjoined twins who died in the womb and then absorbed by the surviving fetus. Or, the extra teeth and beard may be teratoma, a typical benign tumor filled with teeth and hair. [Learn more about rare mountain lions]
Deer and Arrow (Jackie Steagall) A hunter in North Carolina was surprised when he cut a deer-an arrow was stuck in its rib, almost completely covered with bones.
The hunter boarded this unusual box and framed it; The Utah Protection Officials Association posted a photo of a strange bone on Facebook and then shared it on Twitter. According to the son of a hunter who currently owns ribs, the deer looked healthy when his father shot it about 30 years ago. Yala, a doctoral student at the Berlin Museum of Natural History? In fact, it is not uncommon for bone tissue to grow around foreign bodies in the body, Yala Khalidi told Life Science in an email. The initial injuries may include several brothers, halliday said. Ken's ribs and arrows are likely to act as splints to help my dear heal, because the bones surround the shaft. [Learn more about the strange information about Deer Arrow]
Sniffing Gorilla (Jeremy dwyer Lindegren Forest Park Zoo) When the VIP was sniffing and running nose, the keeper of Seattle Forest Park Zoo injected the western lowland gorilla with a round of antibiotics. But it's no use. Computed tomography (CT) soon showed that Vip had a serious but operable sinus infection. Therefore, Vip nurses tried a more radical method: sinus surgery.
A local doctor donated his time and performed a four-hour operation to remove pus, tissues and bones, so that Vip could breathe easily.
The operation was successful, but the doctor-usually operating on people, of course-said that he couldn't stop looking at Vip's huge fangs and huge head during the operation. [Learn more about Operation Gorilla]
Fish Bear (California Department of Fish and Wildlife) 20 18 After a bear in California was severely burned by wildfire, the treatment result was somewhat suspicious.
The claws of animals were damaged in the deadly Thomas fire, which was the biggest wildfire in the state's modern history. When wildlife officials treated the injured bear, they wrapped its charred paws in an unusual bandage-tilapia skin. In Brazil, fish skin is used to treat human burn patients; The researchers wrote in 20 1 1 that fish skin is rich in collagen, a structural protein found in skin, which may reduce the need for skin transplantation.
For the injured bear, the veterinarian applied ointment to the wound, and then sewed the skin of tilapia to the animal's paw. It's drugged. In order to prevent the bear from biting the dressing-fish is the staple food of many bears-its claws are wrapped in a protective layer of rice paper and corn husk. Later, the same treatment was applied to another bear and a puma, whose claws were also burned in the Thomas fire.
On 20 16, paleontologists found evidence that a pair of extinct canglong-reptiles living in the ocean kept pace with dinosaurs-existed about 75 million years ago. At the receiving end of the attack, Mossad swam away, with a creepy war souvenir buried in his chin, which was a tooth of the attacker.
Mossad suffered three injuries to his skull, including a broken tooth. Everything seems to be getting better after the animal died, which shows that it survived the attack. According to a scientist who described the fossil, the angle and position of the wound showed that although the bite was severe, the purpose was to subdue Mossad, not to kill it. This battle may have been triggered by two males vying for a spouse. [Learn more about the tusked Mosha monkey]
Otter Asthma (Seattle Aquarium) Mishka was the first otter diagnosed with asthma; Fortunately, her hands are very good. In 20 14, this little sea otter was found entangled in a fishing net off the coast of Alaska. Seattle Aquarium accepted her because this young sea otter never learned how to take care of herself.
When Mishka (Mishka's name means "Little Bear" in Russian) was about 65,438+0 years old, she suffered from asthma, which was probably caused by smoke in the forest and a fire in eastern Washington. There was no otter inhaler (after all, Mishka was the first patient), so the aquarium staff taught her how to use AeroKat, a kind of inhaler specially designed for cats.
Now, Mishka knows how to hold AeroKat with her nose, and then release atomized medicine for her to inhale. Take a deep breath, Mishka! [Learn more about asthma in Mishka]
