Cranial edema associated with a protein-losing nephropathy in a golden-mantled flying fox (Pteropus pumilus). Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine : official publication of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 1999, Volume: 30, Issue:1 An adult golden-mantled flying fox (Pteropus pumilus) was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome on the basis of the findings of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and cranial edema. Membranoproliferative glomerulitis and interstitial nephritis were confirmed antemortem by renal biopsy.

Cranial edema associated with a protein-losing nephropathy in a golden-mantled flying fox (Pteropus pumilus).

Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine : official publication of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 1999, Volume: 30, Issue:1

An adult golden-mantled flying fox (Pteropus pumilus) was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome on the basis of the findings of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and cranial edema. Membranoproliferative glomerulitis and interstitial nephritis were confirmed antemortem by renal biopsy. The bat had received seven injections of oxytocin in the period immediately prior to presentation. The possible role of oxytocin in the development of the nephropathy is discussed. Supportive care and treatment with a single plasma transfusion, furosemide, and prednisone led to a gradual but complete resolution of the nephrotic syndrome in this animal.
