A 28-year-old female Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) housed in an outside exhibit at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA, began showing signs of weakness. Toxicosis with an anticoagulant rodenticide was suspected because its mate had died 1 day earlier from possible brodifacoum poisoning. A rapid decline in the packed cell volume, despite vitamin K treatment, necessitated a blood transfusion with blood from bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and Steller's sea eagles (Haliaeetus pelagicus). Supportive therapy after transfusion included vitamin K (5 mg/kg IM q12h) as well as enrofloxacin, vitamin B complex, selenium and vitamin E, and subcutaneous fluids as needed. After a 39-day treatment period, a tapering dosage of vitamin K was initiated, and treatment ended after 17 weeks. However, 2 weeks later, the bird suffered from a potential relapse. It was successfully treated with a repeat tapering vitamin K regimen lasting a total of 4 months.
一只28岁的雌性安第斯神鹰（南美神鹰）被圈养在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡国家鸟类饲养场的室外展区，开始出现虚弱迹象。怀疑其因抗凝血灭鼠剂中毒，因为它的配偶一天前可能因溴敌隆中毒死亡。尽管进行了维生素K治疗，但红细胞压积仍迅速下降，因此需要输入白头海雕（白头鹰）和虎头海雕的血液进行输血。输血后的支持性治疗包括维生素K（5毫克/千克，肌肉注射，每12小时一次）以及恩诺沙星、复合维生素B、硒和维生素E，并根据需要补充皮下补液。经过39天的治疗期后，开始逐渐减少维生素K的剂量，并在17周后结束治疗。然而，两周后，这只鸟可能出现了复发。通过重复逐渐减少维生素K剂量的方案对其进行成功治疗，整个疗程持续了4个月。
