White Tigers Get Medication at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

White tigers, Robbie, Tommie, and Frankie team up with Animal Curator, Emily McCormack, to show you how we medicate groups of tigers. As you can see, pills and other forms of medication are typically hidden inside pieces of meat. Keeping other habitat mates away while medicating a single tiger can be a hassle, but thankfully Emily is a pro at it! Sometimes, we have to separate habitat mates by locking one in their habitat and others in the divided nighthouse areas. The tigers recently rescued from Oklahoma continue to do well. They have gotten used to their surroundings and are being treated primarily for genetic health issues and obesity. The latter is being managed through a modified diet and plenty of exercise. The majority of our animal residents are on medication and require special health intervention. This is because many come from poor breeding, are elderly, were malnourished or otherwise abused/subjected to cruel procedures, such as declawing and defanging, before coming to the Refuge. With the addition of Staff Veterinarian, Dr. Kellyn Sweeley, health profiles for each specific animal have been created, and we are now able to more quickly and efficiently treat any changes or major issues that arise. Please consider making a donation to our animal residents through our website. Every little bit helps keep them happy and healthy: http://bit.ly/D0naTe.
