AB  - Objective:The study was focused to investigate theoccurrence of a fatal capture myopathy (CM) after chemical immobilizationduring translocation in different places and to evaluate serum enzymes ofstressed deer and pathologic alteration of vital organs of dead animals due toCM.Materials and Methods:Theexperimental data was collected from Bangladesh National Zoo, Dhaka and the experimentwas conducted at the Department of Surgery and Obstetrics, BangladeshAgricultural University, Mymensingh. Immediateafter capture the animals were allowed to normalize body temperature by pouringsufficient water over the body. Peripheral blood was aspirated from jugularvein for serum biochemical analysis. Once the animals died, vital organs werecollected and processed for histology.Results:Data from 2013 to2018 revealed 178 animals captured through darting and among them 40 animalsdied due to post-capture myopathy reflecting death rate of 22.47%. We haveclosely studied on 16 animals captured on different occasions. Serum enzymeanalysis were exhibited increased levels of ALT, AST, Bilirubin, Creatinine,BUN, LDH, CK, Troponin, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL and LDL and were highlyindicative of stress-linked muscle and organ damage. The macroscopic lesionsconsisted of muscular and cardiac degeneration, edema, hemorrhage andcongestion in lung, adrenal gland and in kidney. Microscopically there wereloss of striation and fragmentation of skeletal muscle, formation ofcontraction band necrosis in myocardial fiber, degenerative changes in renal tubuleand formation of central intraluminal eosinophilic casts.Conclusion:The pathological findings were indicative of capture myopathy in spotteddeer. This report underlines that mortality from capture is a risk that must beconsidered during restocking programs.
