  • Title: Combination therapy for footpad lesions in a captive Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris).
    Author: Baker DG.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 2002 Dec; 33(4):389-91. PubMed ID: 12564540.
    Abstract:
    A captive adult male Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) was treated for chronic footpad ulcers associated with pacing on concrete cage surfaces. Combination therapy of oral fluoxetine and acepromazine administration to diminate pacing behavior, daily application of moisturizing ointment, and oral vitamin E supplementation resulted in complete resolution of all footpad lesions. Subsequent clinical episodes completely resolved with similar treatments.
