Hematology and Plasma Biochemistry of Captive Puna Ibis (Plegadis ridgewayi)

Normal hematology and plasma biochemistry values are reported for a single captive population of 14 puna ibises (Plegadis ridgewayi). The natural biology and conservation status of this species is virtually unknown and it is considered a vulnerable species in parts of South America. The values presented here may be useful to clinicians or wildlife managers working with puna ibises.
