Abstract EN
Trauma is a common problem in Cownose Ray during mating season in both wild and captive rays.
Enucleation is indicated when there is an ocular trauma.
A 5-year-old female Cownose Ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) from Aquaria of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) was presented to University Veterinary Hospital (UVH), Universiti Putra Malaysia, with a complaint of protruding left eye, which resulted from crushing into artificial coral during mating season.
There were a hyphema in the traumatic left eye, periorbital tissue tear, exposed left eye socket, and multiple abrasions on both pectoral fins.
The Cownose was anaesthetized and maintained with isoeugenol and on-field emergency enucleation of the left eye was performed.
It was managed medically with postoperative enrofloxacin, tobramycin ointment, and povidone iodine.
No suture breakdown and secondary infection were observed at day 7 after enucleation during revisit.
At day 24 after enucleation, the Cownose responded well to treatment with excellent healing progression and no surgical complication was observed.
