- MANAGEMENT OF A CARAPACE FRACTURE IN A SIX-BANDED ARMADILLO (EUPHRACTUS SEXCINCTUS)

- 1042-7260
- An adult female free-ranging six-banded armadillo (Euphractus sexcinctus) was presented with an inverted L-shaped fracture of the left pectoral carapace. The fracture was stabilized with the use of three simple interrupted interfragmentary sutures of 2-0 nylon. After 7 days, wound dehiscence occurred, so sutures were replaced and the wound treated topically with castor bean oil cream. Healing of the fracture was observed after 14 days of this treatment.
