An approximately 10-yr-old, captive-born female toco toucan ( Ramphastos toco ) was presented due to an acute onset of depression and apathy. On visual and physical examination, it showed an abnormal posture and dehydration, respectively. Serum biochemistry revealed hyperuricemia (39.4 mg/dl) and elevated glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT; 1,050 U/L). Radiographs demonstrated an enlargement of the cardiac silhouette. The bird died 7 days after presentation, despite treatment with enrofloxacin, allopurinol, a preparation of hepatorenal protectors, and complex B vitamins with dextrose. Necropsy revealed severe fibrinohemorrhagic pericarditis with a 15 mm long and 2.5 mm diameter, rigid foreign body in the pericardial exudate. Microscopically, this foreign body was of vegetal origin.
一只约10岁、圈养出生的雌性托哥巨嘴鸟（Ramphastos toco）因突然出现抑郁和冷漠症状前来就诊。在外观和体格检查中，它分别表现出异常姿势和脱水症状。血清生化检查显示高尿酸血症（39.4毫克/分升）和谷氨酸草酰乙酸转氨酶（GOT；1050 U/L）升高。X光片显示心脏轮廓增大。尽管使用恩诺沙星、别嘌醇、肝肾保护剂制剂以及含葡萄糖的复合维生素B进行了治疗，但这只鸟在就诊7天后死亡。尸检发现严重的纤维蛋白出血性心包炎，心包渗出物中有一个长15毫米、直径2.5毫米的坚硬异物。显微镜检查显示，这个异物来源于植物。
