Rescued Ukrainian Lion Receives Essential Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
An adolescent lioness saved from conflict-ridden the war zone has undergone critical dental surgery to extract a severely infected fang resulting from an infection.
Lira was brought to a wildlife sanctuary in Kent, England on March 14 following a fundraising effort by managing director Cam Whitnall, who raised £500,000 to support her and four other rescued lions.
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The procedure was performed on Friday by veterinary dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has cared for hundreds of large felines.
"Upon inspecting the lioness's oral cavity, I could see immediately the broken tooth was highly inflamed," said the dentist.
He thought the infection was caused by a injury sustained more than a year ago, causing germs producing harmful substances within the fang.
"My philosophy is non-human dental problems need to be treated in the safest, the least invasive and most secure manner," he said.
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 3.14 inches in length, with Mr Kertesz having to extract a pocket of pus from beneath the tooth and close the large wound with seven dissolving sutures.
He also performed a root canal treatment on the opposing upper canine tooth, which was also found to be infected.
The curator, curator at The Big Cat Sanctuary, said the procedure was a "complete success."
She noted the team had observed "a minor swelling on Lira's jawline" but it had been impossible to determine "the extent of the problem."
"The lioness will be somewhat sore to initially, but now that the infectious materials are out of her body, she will start to feel much better over the next few days," commented Ms Smith.
This vital operation marks a major milestone in Lira's recovery after her rescue from Ukraine.
