Case Report: Physiological and Behavioral Changes in a Black-Faced Baboon During Critical Wound Surgery
Subject area: Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences · Area of research: Animal Behaviour
Abstract
This case report documents the physiological and behavioral changes observed in a critically injured black-faced baboon (Papio anubis) weighing 36 kg, which underwent surgery for severe perforated injuries to the umbilicus, lips, and buttocks. The baboon was rescued and brought to the University of Rajshahi Veterinary Clinic for emergency treatment. The study aimed to monitor the baboon?s physiological and behavioral responses before, during, and after anesthesia, as well as 1.8 hours post-surgery. The findings contribute to the understanding of the species' welfare during critical surgical interventions and provide insights into veterinary care practices.
