Abstract
Hematological and serum biochemical values in five captive finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) were examined, and abnormalities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and γ-glutamyltransferase were determined in a male finless propoise. Numbers of white and red blood cells in pregnant female propoises were significant lower than those in non-pregnant ones (P<0.05). Significant higher values of serum creatinine were observed in summer, when compared in the values of winter (P<0.01). Abnormalities of hepatic enzymes could improve with administration of ursodeoxycholic acid and a hepatic hydrolysate drug.
