A 3-day-old, 57.3-kg, male white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) neonate presented laterally recumbent with comatose mentation, cold extremities, and severe hypothermia, hypoxemia, and hypoglycemia. Critical care support was initiated with aggressive fluid and warming support as well as dextrose and oxygen supplementation. After initial stabilization, additional complications arose in subsequent weeks including intermittent diarrhea, dry skin with loss of epidermal layers, urticaria on the head, and superficial wounds on the face, ears, feet, and penis. There is a lack of critical care information for rhinoceros calves. However, due to similarities to other Perissodactylids, some general guidelines for critical equid neonatal care were implemented. The calf was hand-raised until weaning and is now a subadult white rhinoceros with no abnormalities.
一头3日龄、体重57.3千克的雄性白犀（南方白犀亚种）幼崽呈侧卧姿势，伴有昏迷状态、四肢冰冷以及严重的体温过低、低氧血症和低血糖。立即启动重症监护支持，给予积极的液体和保暖支持，以及补充葡萄糖和氧气。在初步稳定后，随后几周出现了其他并发症，包括间歇性腹泻、表皮层脱落的干性皮肤、头部荨麻疹以及面部、耳朵、脚部和阴茎的浅表伤口。目前缺乏关于犀牛幼崽的重症监护信息。然而，由于与其他奇蹄目动物有相似之处，因此实施了一些马属动物新生儿重症护理的一般指导原则。这头幼崽一直人工饲养至断奶，现在是一头没有异常的亚成年白犀。
