A review of necropsy and histopathology records was conducted to identify causes of morbidity and mortality, as well as associations among age, sex, and wild versus aquarium birth origin.

Infectious diseases were the most identified major cause of mortality and included septicemia (n = 7), toxoplasmosis (n = 3), leptospirosis (n = 1), and suppurative meningitis (n = 1). Of the septicemia cases, three were confirmed to be caused by <i>Pasteurella</i> sp.

A surgical vasectomy is one method of sterilization but requires knowledge of the reproductive anatomy of a species to perform. Over a six-year period, six young adult male beavers had surgical vasectomy procedures performed. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia after induction with dexmedetomidine, ketamine, and midazolam. The first three vasectomy procedures were performed via an intra-abdominal technique, while the remaining three procedures were performed via a novel extra-abdominal technique. All procedures were successful, and all beavers recovered uneventfully. Necropsy and surgical dissection techniques were used to better describe male reproductive anatomy for these procedures.
