Description
Summary:Bear (Ursus arctos) represent a common wild animal in the forests of our country, but also an attractive hunting wildlife. Because it is a powerful beast, wounding instead of killing is not uncommon during hunting or poaching. Bear who was shot in the head by poachers was urgently hospitalized at Clinics of Veterinary Faculty Sarajevo. This paper includes a description of the animal health condition, severity of injures, performed diagnostic methods and therapy. In this way, we want to emphasize the broad spectrum of veterinary practice and induce affirmation of the veterinary profession and science in the hunting management activity, as one of the segments where the veterinarians are required. Key words: Bear, trauma, therapy Medvjed (Ursus arctos), predstavlja zastupljenu divlju životinju u šumama naše zemlje, ali i atraktivnu lovnu divljač. S obzirom da se radi o snažnoj zvijeri, ranjavanje umjesto odstrjela tokom lova ili krivolova nije rijetka pojava. Jedan medvjed koji je ranjen vatrenim oružjem tokom krivolova je primljen i zbrinut na Klinikama Veterinarskog fakulteta u Sarajevu. Ovaj rad obuhvata opis stanja životinje, povrede, opis dijagnostičkih metoda i načina terapije. Na ovaj način želimo da ukažemo na širinu spektra veterinarske prakse, kao i afirmaciju veterinarske struke i nauke u lovnoj privrednoj djelatnosti koja spada u privredne djelatnosti gdje je uloga veterinara potrebna. Ključne riječi: medvjed, trauma, terapija
