Rescued Ukrainian Lioness Undergoes Essential Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
An adolescent lioness rescued from war-torn the war zone has received critical dental surgery to remove a severely infected fang resulting from an abscess.
Lira arrived at a wildlife sanctuary in Smarden, Kent on March 14 following a fundraising effort by director Cam Whitnall, who collected half a million pounds to fund her and four other rescued lions.
The Rescue Center
The procedure was carried out on last week by dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has treated about 450 big cats.
"Upon inspecting Lira's jaw and mouth, I could see immediately the damaged fang was highly inflamed," stated Mr Kertesz.
He believed the infection was caused by a injury experienced over twelve months back, leading to germs creating harmful substances within the fang.
"The approach I follow is non-human oral health issues need to be treated in the most predictable, the least invasive and most secure manner," he explained.
Mr Kertesz explained that as the lioness did not need to hunt for food, removal was the most "logical and humane option."
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The rescue center said the extracted tooth was 3.14 inches in length, with Mr Kertesz having to remove a accumulated infection from beneath the tooth and seal the large wound with seven dissolving sutures.
He additionally conducted a dental procedure on the opposing upper canine tooth, which was also found to be infected.
The curator, curator at the facility, said the operation was a "complete success."
She said the team had observed "a small lump on the lioness's face" but it had been impossible to determine "the extent of the problem."
"Lira will be somewhat sore to begin with, but now that the toxins are out of her body, she will begin improving over the next few days," added the curator.
This vital operation marks a major milestone in the lioness's healing process after her arrival from the conflict area.
