Haigh reported treating a female white rhinoceros with constipation as a result of a severe horning of the hind quarters. The animal responded well to the removal of dry faeces from the rectum, a 12 liter enema and antibiotic therapy for the infected horn wounds. The antibiotics used were a combination of sodium, procaine and benzathine penicillin and ampicillin.
