She was treated with cefotaxime sodium 1g (Taxim Inj.; Alkem Laboratory Ltd., Mumbai) intramuscularly once a day for 5 days. She showed improvement in feed intake after the third day. On 23.xi.04 bilateral epistaxis was marked and the animal went off-feed again. Styptovit tablets 2nos. (Adrenochrome monosemicarbazone; Dr. Reddy’s Lab. Ltd., Hyderabad), Dexamethasone 2ml I/M (Dexona inj.; Cadila Health Care Ltd., Ahmedabad), Ranitidine 2ml I/M (Ranitin Inj. 2mg/ ml; Torrent Pharma Ltd., Gujarat) and Neohepatex 5ml (Inj.; Biological Event, Medak, Hyderabad) were administered for two days with no improvement. On 25.xi.04 administration of Botropase 2ml I/M (Inj.; Jagat Pharma, Bangalore) reduced the epistaxis. On observation no abnormality in eye lid movement, eye balls or forehead contour could be marked. However, respiratory distress with snoring was prominent from both nostrils. As the animal relapsed back to inappetance and epistaxis, it was decided to tranquilize the tigress for physical and radiological examination of nasal cavity.
