    Documentation

    Comments

    Noteworthy findings from necropsy are enlarged liver, oropharynx mucous discharge,
    skin hematoma, brain hemorrhage and cardiac chamber enlargement. Empty digestive tract
    means no food intake for more than 10 hours prior of the death. Enlarged liver might indicate
    liver inflammation, liver tumor, or liver congestion. Oropharynx discharge might indicate
    upper respiratory disease, however mucous wet mount checked were insignificant. Skin
    hematoma might indicate physical trauma before deceased or part of post mortem changes
    causing disruption of skin tissue integrity after death. Brain hemorrhage on the other hand
    can cause brain malfunction, collapse and brain dead if it happens before mortality. Cardiac
    chamber enlargement indicates heart function disorder and can cause cardiac arrest and
    sudden death. Nature of the disease might not well determined without further diagnostic
    approach. Histopathology check is recommended.

    Diagnosis
    Due to the post mortem changes when necropsy was performed, definitive diagnosis might
    not be accurate. Several possibilities causing mortality of strix owl are cardiac arrest and brain
    hemorrhage.
