Rescued from Ukraine Lion Receives Critical Surgery
The Big Cat Sanctuary
An adolescent female lion saved from war-torn the war zone has undergone critical oral operation to remove a badly decayed canine tooth resulting from an abscess.
The lioness arrived at a wildlife sanctuary in Smarden, Kent on 14 March following a fundraising effort by director Cam Whitnall, who collected ÂŁ500,000 to fund her and several other lions from Ukraine.
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The surgery was carried out on Friday by dentist Peter Kertesz, who has cared for hundreds of large felines.
"When I examined the lioness's oral cavity, I could see right away the broken tooth was highly inflamed," said Mr Kertesz.
He thought the infection was caused by a trauma sustained over twelve months back, causing bacteria producing harmful substances within the fang.
"The approach I follow is non-human oral health issues need to be treated in the most predictable, the most conservative and safest way," he explained.
The expert clarified that as the lioness no longer required to catch prey, extraction was the most "logical and humane option."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The sanctuary said the removed fang was 8cm (3.14 inches) long, with Mr Kertesz having to remove a accumulated infection from beneath the tooth and seal the significant opening with multiple absorbable stitches.
He additionally conducted a root canal treatment on the corresponding top fang, which was also found to be infected.
The curator, manager at The Big Cat Sanctuary, said the procedure was a "total triumph."
She noted the team had spotted "a minor swelling on the lioness's face" but it had been difficult to assess "how serious the condition was."
"Lira will be somewhat sore to initially, but now that the toxins are removed from her system, she will start to feel much better over the next few days," added Ms Smith.
This vital operation represents a significant step in the lioness's healing process after her rescue from Ukraine.
