Clinical Use of Oral Antibiotics in Zoo-held Artiodactylae

چکیده
Case 1. An increase in mortality occurred in a herd of 7000 free ranging Rhim gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa marica) in the UAE. Post-mortem revealed ruminal bloat and generalized haemorrhagic gastro-enteritis. Laboratory diagnosis confirmed Clostridium perfringens (direct smears and toxins found) enterotoxaemia and coli septicaemia. As this disease process was considered multifactorial, dietary and management changes designed to reduce stress were implemented. All animals were treated with amoxicillin powder (Amoxicillin 100%, Bloom Pharma, Egypt) at 10 mg/kg once daily for 5 days. The amoxicillin powder was mixed manually in the pellets with vegetable oil. Amoxicillin was chosen empirically for Clostridium and based on laboratory sensitivity for E.coli. Diarrhoea cases decreased during treatment and mortality went back to zero 4 days after ceasing treatment. Management changes and improvement in weather may also have contributed a great deal to the recovery of the gazelles.
