  • Title: Inco-ordination and paresis in a captive lion (Panthera leo).
    Author: Burroughs RE, Roos CJ, Ebedes H.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1988 Jun; 59(2):81-2. PubMed ID: 3392706.
    Abstract:
    An adult female lion (Panthera leo) with hind- and forequarter paresis and inco-ordination was examined. An initial diagnosis of a vitamin A deficiency was made, but treatment proved ineffective. A radiological examination showed mild pressure on the spinal cord. A tentative diagnosis of trauma to the cervical vertebrae was made. Response to conservative therapy suggested an aetiology of traumatic origin.
