Biochemistry and serum amyloid A in a moribund sub-Arctic free-ranging herring gull (Larus argentatus) with necrotic wing fracture
An adult herring gull (Larus argentatus) found lethargic and moribund showed an open fracture of the right radius and ulna with necrosis of the surrounding tissue. Hematologic testing and plasma biochemical analysis revealed elevated creatinine kinase consistent with traumatic muscle damage in addit...
