espanolEl objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el efecto de la duracion y la temperatura de almacena-miento en los globulos rojos y los globulos blancos, asi como el volumen de celulas empaquetadas en mues-tras de sangre de un control deslizante de orejas rojas de adultos sanos. Se recogieron muestras de sangre de seis controles deslizantes de orejas rojas adultos. Las muestras de sangre se analizaron inmediatamente despues del muestreo para obtener el valor de referencia (BV) del recuento de globulos rojos, el recuento de globulos blancos y el volumen de celulas empaquetadas. Posteriormente, la sangre se almaceno a 4°C y los analisis hematologicos exactos se realizaron despues de 24 h, 48 h y 72 h. Nuestra investigacion sobre muestras de sangre de resbaladero de orejas rojas mostro el mismo nivel de estabilidad para el recuento de globulos rojos y globulos rojos durante 72 horas de almacenamiento a 4°C y para PCV durante 48 horas. El manejo de las muestras de sangre, asi como la duracion del almacenamiento, pueden influir significa-tivamente en los resultados de las determinaciones hematologicas. En consecuencia, los resultados de las determinaciones hematologicas de muestras de sangre almacenadas o manipuladas incorrectamente pueden dar resultados enganosos. EnglishThe aim of present study was to determine the effect of storage duration and temperature on the red blood cells and white blood cells, as well as packed cell volume in blood samples from healthy adult red-eared slider. Blood samples were collected from six adult red-eared sliders. Blood samples were analyzed immediately after sampling to obtain the baseline value (BV) of red blood cells count, white blood cell count and packed cell volume. Afterwards the blood was stored at 4 C and the exact hematological analyses were performed after 24h, 48h and 72h. Our research on red-eared slider blood samples showed same level of stability for RBC and WBC count during 72 hours of storage at 4°C and for PCV during 48 hours. Handling of blood samples, as well as duration of storage can significantly influence the results of hematological de-terminations. Consequently, results of hematological determinations of improperly stored or handled blood samples can yield misleading results.

Animal restrainment technique is one of the most complex procedures in the veterinary practice. Restraining of wild, zoo and exotic animals is completly different from restraining of domestic animals. The restraining and anesthesia processes of the wild animals are often conducted by using a dart gun and blow pipe with the automatic syringes and gas guns, and with application of different chemical preparation/drugs.

Bear (Ursus arctos) represent a common wild animal in the forests of our country, but also an attractive hunting wildlife. Because it is a powerful beast, wounding instead of killing is not uncommon during hunting or poaching. Bear who was shot in the head by poachers was urgently hospitalized at Clinics of Veterinary Faculty Sarajevo. This paper includes a description of the animal health condition, severity of injures, performed diagnostic methods and therapy. In this way, we want to emphasize the broad spectrum of veterinary practice and induce affirmation of the veterinary profession and science in the hunting management activity, as one of the segments where the veterinarians are required.
