ABR Update-December 4, 2024-Sad News about Crockett Bear 🐻💔

Yesterday, Curator Seth took Crockett back to UTCVM-University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine for a follow-up visit. The doctors were to check Crockett’s liver values, which they found to be elevated when he first arrived at ABR. We had attributed that to the heavy internal parasite load that Crockett carried, and we were hopeful things were back to normal now that the parasites were gone.

Crockett had doubled his weight since arriving at ABR, and his body condition was much improved. We were shocked when the doctors told us his bloodwork showed his liver values were far worse than at intake. Doctors took Crockett to radiology and investigated with ultrasound and later followed up with a CT scan. Crockett's liver and the pathways to and from it were not formed correctly, a genetic problem with no cure. He was never able to properly break down fats, which would account for his emaciated state when he arrived. His improvement at ABR was temporary, and his liver would only continue to deteriorate.

The doctors conferred with TWRA, the agency responsible for Crockett, and together with ABR made the difficult decision to euthanize him.

The doctors at UTCVM have never seen or documented this kind of liver problem in a black bear. They will use the results of the CT scan and his other tests to document the condition, hoping that Crockett's case will help other bears in the future.

We are heartbroken over the loss of Crockett and know you will be too. Please be comforted knowing that you gave that little bear what were likely the best days of his life. Rest easy, Crockett. 🐻🌹

Our thanks to the team at UTCVM-University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and to you, our friends and partners in our mission.

At UTCVM-University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine We don't know how long he was alone or what caused his injuries. His face was burned, but for the life of us, we can't imagine how that happened.

As our yearlong celebration of our 50th anniversary comes to a close, we thank everyone, the faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters who have made our college what it is. We look forward to what the next 50 years will bring!

Each year, Good Samaritans bring close to 1,000 injured, orphaned, and sometimes "kidnapped" wildlife to our UT Veterinary Medical Center. We treat those that can be treated, send them to rehabilitators, and don't charge the folks who bring them in. Please consider donating to our Wild Animal Medicine Gift Fund during today's Big Orange Give. Gifts will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100 until $28,850 has been matched. #BigOrangeGive https://bigorangegive.utk.edu/vet-med
