Rescued from Ukraine Lioness Receives Critical Surgery
The Big Cat Sanctuary
A three-year-old lioness saved from war-torn the war zone has received critical oral operation to extract a severely infected canine tooth resulting from an infection.
The lioness arrived at The Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden, Kent on 14 March after a campaign by managing director Cam Whitnall, who collected £500,000 to support her and several other lions from Ukraine.
The Rescue Center
The procedure was performed on Friday by veterinary dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has cared for hundreds of large felines.
"When I examined the lioness's oral cavity, I could see immediately the damaged fang was severely infected," said Mr Kertesz.
He believed the dental issue was due to a trauma experienced more than a year ago, causing bacteria producing harmful substances within the fang.
"My philosophy is animal dental problems need to be treated in the most predictable, the least invasive and most secure manner," he said.
The expert clarified that as Lira no longer required to catch prey, removal was the most "logical and humane option."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The sanctuary reported the extracted tooth was 3.14 inches in length, with the dentist having to extract a accumulated infection from beneath the tooth and seal the large wound with multiple absorbable stitches.
He additionally conducted a root canal treatment on the opposing upper canine tooth, which was discovered to have a similar issue.
The curator, manager at the facility, declared the procedure was a "total triumph."
She said the team had observed "a small lump on Lira's jawline" but it had been difficult to assess "the extent of the problem."
"Lira will be somewhat sore to initially, but now that the infectious materials are removed from her system, she will start to feel much better over the next few days," commented the curator.
This vital operation represents a significant step in Lira's recovery after her rescue from Ukraine.
