Port Lympne Zoo. Our adult female black rhino ?Rukwa' developed a very severe acute mastitis of both halves of the udder, caused by Staphylococcus aureus. She was immobilized a total of six times for treatment with long-acting antibiotics. A full recovery occurred without tissue loss, though in healing the udder tissue may have lost a proportion of its structure.
