The Veterinary Surgeons examined the immobilised injured Rhino. They found that the left nasal passage was completely blocked by cancerous tissues with cauliflower like growth pattern. Sinus wound was created from nasal passage to bottom of the horn due to maggot infestation. Wounds were cleaned and long acting penicillin was applied intra-muscular. The animal maintained stable pulse rate, breathing and body temperature. The immobilised Rhino was carried on a wooden sledge to near the stockade. The overall operation took less than 45 minutes and 1.6 ml of revivon was administered intravenously. However, the injured Rhino did not respond and died`
