Specimen collection and preservation Specimen collection and preservation

Specimens, as discussed in this handbook, have but a single purpose--to provide information leading to the diagnosis of a cause of disease or death.

An unusual pleomorphic sarcoma in a hybrid mallard An unusual pleomorphic sarcoma in a hybrid mallard

An unusual pleomorphic sarcoma from a hybrid mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is described. Rhabdomyosarcoma was considered in the original differential diagnoses but rejected due to lack of specific characteristics generally seen in these tumors. The histologic characteristics described are consistent with mammalian sarcomas recorded in the literature as malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Salt toxicosis in waterfowl in North Dakota Salt toxicosis in waterfowl in North Dakota

About 150 waterfowl died and another 250 became weak and lethargic from suspected salt poisoning after using White Lake, a highly saline lake in Mountrail County, North Dakota. Frigid temperatures made fresh water unavailable, forcing the birds to ingest the saline waters with resultant toxic effects. Sick birds recovered when removed from the salt water and released into fresh water...
