美洲虎顽固性呕吐行为的矫正

Diagnosis and Treatment of a Case of Obstinate Vomiting in Panthera onca

南京市红山森林动物园中兽馆中1只成年美洲虎因笼舍陈旧(建于20世纪90年代),活动空间狭小,出现顽固性呕吐,临床表现为:饲养过程中出现呕吐行为,"进食—呕吐—进食",反复数次后,完成进食。因未对其身体健康造成影响,前期未给予重视,后又发现中兽馆中金钱豹偶尔出现上述现象,遂采取一系列措施,对其顽固性呕吐行为进行人为干预矫正,取得一定成效。

A case of obstinate vomiting in Panthera onca in Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo was reported in this paper. The obsolete cage and limited activity space were considered to be associated with the occurrence of obstinate vomiting. The main clinical manifestation of the diseased Panthera onca was the recurring of ＂intaking-vomiting- intaking＂. In the early stage of the disease,the abnormal behavior of the Panthera onca was ignored by the breeders due to the fact that no obvious effects of the behavior on the health of the Panthera onca were observed. Subsequently, a leopard in the same zoo was also found to vomit occasionally. Effective treatment measures were taken to cure the obstinate vomiting of the Panthera onca, and the good curative effect was achieved.
