Abstract: VALENCIA, FELIX JR. CALINGASAN, "A STUDY ON THE INTERVENTION METHODS, AFTERCARE ON INJURED FIGHTING COCKS AND THEIR OUTCOMES IN SELECTED COCKPIT ARENAS IN CAVITE". Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite May 2009. Adviser: Eugene M. Principe, DVM, MS The study was conducted to describe the intervention practices performed by cock doctors on injured game cock; post-intervention management of injured cocks, complications encountered during the post intervention period and determine the outcome/success rate of the interventions made by the cock doctors on injured fighting cocks in selected cockpits in Cavite. The study showed that the types of injuries in the study are lacerations, cut/incision, puncture, scratch, contusion and abrasions. These are treated by the cock doctor through surgical means or medical means, or both. Healing of the wound depends on the management of the cock owner and the response of the cock itself to the treatment. The usual practice was cage rest with controlled feeding and water. The shortest length of treatment is three days to one week and the longest is one to two months. Common complications observed were, swelling 42% (10/24), wound infection 13% (3/24), hemorrhage 8% (2/24), lameness 8% (2/24), deformity 4% (1/24), hematoma 4% (1/24). Intervention was successful in most cases (87%) but when the injuries are serious, the cock recovers but the damaged part of the body, specially the wing and leg joints, fail to return to normal function (13%), thus were unable to return to fight. All cock doctors perform common intervention in treating injured cocks, like surgery and use of drugs, and some are using improvised methods.

The study was conducted to describe the intervention practices performed by cock doctors on injured game cock; post-intervention management of injured cocks, complications encountered during the post intervention period and determine the outcome/success rate of the interventions made by the cock doctors on injured fighting cocks in selected cockpits in Cavite. The study showed that the types of injuries in the study are lacerations, cut/incision, puncture, scratch, contusion and abrasions.

These are treated by the cock doctor through surgical means or medical means, or both. Healing of the wound depends on the management of the cock owner and the response of the cock itself to the treatment. The usual practice was cage rest with controlled feeding and water. The shortest length of treatment is three days to one week and the longest is one to two months. Common complications observed were, swelling 42% (10/24), wound infection 13% (3/24), hemorrhage 8% (2/24), lameness 8% (2/24), deformity 4% (1/24), hematoma 4% (1/24).

Intervention was successful in most cases (87%) but when the injuries are serious, the cock recovers but the damaged part of the body, specially the wing and leg joints, fail to return to normal function (13%), thus were unable to return to fight. All cock doctors perform common intervention in treating injured cocks, like surgery and use of drugs, and some are using improvised methods.
