Info

F. MEDICAL RECORDS Medical records provide information on the medical history of individual animal maintained at the zoo. The medical records will contain information on the medical problem, preventive medicine, treatments and examinations of an animal. Good veterinary records reduce loss of animals due to disease, by tracking parasites and treatments, by keeping vaccination son schedule, by tracking optimal doses for immobilization drugs and individual animal sensitivities, and by reminding veterinary staff of follow-up work needed. Good veterinary records mean better animal health (Koliyal 1998). The Veterinary department of the zoo should maintain an individual animal file (at least for endangered species) and for rest of the species and for those species living in groups, Species wise veterinary files must be maintained. The first page of the file should have the animal‟s History Card which is to be followed by Animal Treatment Sheet(20 pages/ as required), Animal Vaccination Sheet (20 pages/ required), Animal Deworming Sheet( 20 pages/ as required), Animal Tranquilization Sheet (9 pages/ as required). The pages should be printed on both sides. The Veterinary officer can make a clinical note whenever some treatment is given to the animal. Whenever there is a post – mortem conducted the copy of p.m. report should be attached to the daily report so that the animal‟s death and cause of death is properly recorded into animal‟s history file/ ARKS. The veterinary department should also maintain Medicine stock register. The Individual animal file and species should be best kept in different cabinets so it can be easily retrieved for reference and other purpose. Any other report, like the X- ray report, hematological report, genetic report etc. should be stored in the respective animal‟s cabinet. 26
