We determined serum biochemistry and hematologic values for island spotted skunks (Spilogale gracilis amphiala) on Santa Cruz Island (California, USA). Samples were collected from island spotted skunks chemically restrained with ketamine hydrochloride and acepromazine in August 1999 (dry season) and from skunks manually restrained in August 2000 (dry season) and January 2001 (wet season). One parameter, glucose, significantly differed with season, with higher levels during the wet season. Serum chemistry and hematologic profiles suggest that method of restraint (manual or chemical), as well as other methodologic details, may influence blood characteristics in the island spotted skunk.
我们测定了美国加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯岛上岛屿斑臭鼬(Spilogale gracilis amphiala)的血清生化指标和血液学值。样本采集于1999年8月(旱季)用盐酸氯胺酮和乙酰丙嗪化学保定的岛屿斑臭鼬,以及2000年8月(旱季)和2001年1月(雨季)手动保定的臭鼬。其中一个参数,葡萄糖,在不同季节有显著差异,雨季时水平更高。血清生化和血液学指标表明,保定方法(手动或化学)以及其他方法学细节可能会影响岛屿斑臭鼬的血液特征。
