Stranded cetaceans face critical illnesses and often present with multiple co-morbidities, which are further exacerbated by the stress induced by stranding events and interactions with humans. Capture myopathy (CM) is a common condition in dolphins and other wildlife subjected to extreme stress during capture, handling, or transportation. This condition is particularly problematic in highly sensitive species such as dolphins, whose intense physiological response to stress can lead to severe complications. In this case report, we present the hematological, biochemical, and histopathological findings that contributed to the diagnosis of secondary CM in a wild Clymene dolphin, , stranded alive on a beach in northeastern Brazil.
搁浅的鲸类动物面临严重疾病，且常常伴有多种合并症，而搁浅事件以及与人类的接触所引发的应激反应会使这些情况进一步恶化。捕获性肌病（CM）在海豚和其他在捕获、处理或运输过程中承受极端应激的野生动物中是一种常见病症。这种情况在诸如海豚等高度敏感的物种中尤其成问题，因为它们对压力的强烈生理反应可能导致严重并发症。在本病例报告中，我们展示了血液学、生物化学和组织病理学检查结果，这些结果有助于诊断一头野生克莱门海豚的继发性捕获性肌病，这头海豚活着搁浅在巴西东北部的一处海滩上。
