Rescued Ukrainian Lioness Receives Essential Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
A three-year-old female lion rescued from conflict-ridden Ukraine has undergone vital oral operation to remove a severely infected fang resulting from an infection.
The lioness was brought to a wildlife sanctuary in Smarden, Kent on March 14 following a campaign by managing director the sanctuary's leader, who collected half a million pounds to fund her and several other lions from Ukraine.
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The surgery was performed on Friday by veterinary dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has treated about 450 big cats.
"When I examined the lioness's oral cavity, I could see immediately the damaged fang was highly inflamed," stated the dentist.
He believed the dental issue was caused by a injury experienced over twelve months back, leading to bacteria creating toxins within the fang.
"My philosophy is animal dental problems should be addressed in the most predictable, the most conservative and safest way," he explained.
Mr Kertesz explained that as the lioness did not need to catch prey, extraction was the most "sensible and ethical solution."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The rescue center reported the extracted tooth was 8cm (3.14 inches) long, with the dentist having to remove a accumulated infection from under the fang and seal the large wound with seven dissolving sutures.
He also performed a root canal treatment on the corresponding top fang, which was discovered to have a similar issue.
The curator, manager at the facility, said the operation was a "complete success."
She noted the team had observed "a small lump on Lira's jawline" but it had been impossible to determine "the extent of the problem."
"The lioness will be a little uncomfortable to begin with, but now that the infectious materials are removed from her system, she will start to feel much better over the next few days," added Ms Smith.
The successful surgery represents a major milestone in Lira's recovery after her rescue from Ukraine.
