Comparison of Electrolyte Composition and Crystallization Patterns in Bird and Reptile Tears

Comparison of Electrolyte Composition and Crystallization Patterns in Bird and Reptile Tears

To compare tear electrolytes and tear crystallization patterns in birds and reptiles, tears were sampled by Schirmer tear test from 10 animals each of Ara ararauna, Amazona aestiva, Tyto alba, Rupornis magnirostris, Chelonoidis carbonaria, and Caiman latirostris, and 5 of Caretta caretta.
