Breathing failure

The Medical Team of the Animal and Kinantan Cultural Park (TMSBK) of Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra, suspects the death of a Sumatran tiger entangled by a pig snare in Jorong Tikalok, Nagari Tanjung Beringin, Lubuk Attitude District, Pasaman Regency, due to respiratory failure.

Doctor TMSBK Bukittinggi drh Yoli Zulfanedi said this was marked by mukosa or tongue which was blue or sinosis and was exacerbated by conditions of stress caused by hot temperatures.

This condition occurs, possibly due to the snares on the necks of the animals. However, it is not certain, because the initial identification of the animals was only carried out at the Lubuk Attitude Police Headquarters.

The team of doctors did not find any open wounds on the body parts of the female sexist tiger under the age of two or teenager.

To ensure death, the animal needs to be nekropied or surgical at the UPTD of the West Sumatra Animal Hospital in Padang.

The UPTD of the West Sumatra Animal Hospital stated that it was necropsy by involving five doctors and paramedics from the UPTD of the West Sumatra Animal Hospital. Nekropies were carried out on Tuesday (16/5) at 19.37 WIB.

The necropsy is performed on the external physical part consisting of skin, fur, eyes, mucus membranes, oral cavity, legs and hands. From external observations of physical conditions there is no change at all.

Subsequently, a statement was made to open the chest cavity and open the abdomen to see irregularities that were not depicted during an external or physical examination.

The results of observations carried out with a team of doctors, there were several abnormal body conditions, namely in chest and stomach cavities that occurred normatively, unlike normal death.

For further examination, the UPTD of the West Sumatra Animal Hospital sent samples of body organs in the form of lungs, runoffs, kidneys and heart to the Bukittinggi Viterinary Center in Baso, because for confirmation of changes seen with the naked eye, the diagnosis will be more firm in Microsoft.

The conclusion of the cause of death of the Sumatran tiger will be met with a team of doctors about the changes that exist and the minutes will be made regarding the final conclusion due to the tiger's death.

For snare wounds on the body's parts, no abnormalities were found, except for the stomach, only scratch and snares reached the body during an external examination.

There were no bruises and lacerations found on the neck and hands. The death threshold of the tiger is difficult to breathe. All these facts are raw materials that are still being analyzed whether there is any connection from the organ with other organs.

The West Sumatra BKSDA concluded that from the results of the necropsy, bleeding was found in the chest cavity, bleeding in the lungs, bleeding in the neck, exposed to very high sun heat and acute hypoxia.

This is because of the snares wrapped around the neck, chest and head of the animal which cause respiratory problems which result in the Sumatran tiger metabolism not working properly.

Oxygen levels reduce, causing the heart to work harder to pump blood throughout the body as a result of snares. This can be seen from the swelling heart.

Disorders of decreased oxygen levels in the body can be seen from the eyes and inner skin (mukes) which are blue to accumulate into the cause of death.

Apart from these factors above, the presence of excessive solar heat causes stress (stress heat) and lack of oxygen in the body causes the death of the animal.

The team of doctors carried out a necropsy for about an hour and after completion the body of the animal was buried according to the management of the dead animal and at a location that was safe from interference.
