SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF OLECRANON BURSITIS IN FOUR HAND RAISED GOLDEN JACKALS (CANIS AUREUS).

Hand raised four Golden jackals of age around 6 months were observed with olecranonbursitis. Frequent rubbing/trauma from the wooden floor of the refuge den was suspected to be the reason for development of olecranon bursitis. The case was confirmed by aseptic aspiration of content from lump. Later surgical intervention was planned. They were immobilized with ketamine hydrochloride and diazepam at the dose rate of 10 mg/kg and1 mg/kg, respectively. Surgically, the lumps were removed and recovery was seen in a month of surgical intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
