A two-years old lioness (Panthero leo) was referred
to our clinic with nasal and oral bleeding, vomiting and anemia. As being
informed by the owner ; we learned that the lion had a history of anorexia,
nasal discharge, fatigue, dehidrationand apathy just one month prior to
admittion the clinic. At the laboratory examination Urea, Creatinin and RBC
(red blood cell) were higher than normal. Coronavirus , Feline Leukemia Virus,
Feline Immundeficiency Virus (Rapid FIV/Ab FeLV Ag Test Kit, Bionote®)
agents were checked with commercial immunocromatographic rapid test kit and found as negative. Heamobartonella sp was found by blood smear. Enrofloxacin (Baytril-K % 5,
Bayer®) 10 mg/kg dose for 10 days once a day and vitamin K and supportive fluid were given for
treatment. All clinical signs and abnormal blood values returned to normal levels after 17 days. This
report indicated that Heamobartonella sp is important agent
also for wild cats and all cats should be controlled for this to enfection even if suffered from renal failure.
