Rescued from Ukraine Lion Receives Critical Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
A three-year-old lioness rescued from conflict-ridden Ukraine has received vital dental surgery to extract a severely infected fang resulting from an abscess.
Lira arrived at a wildlife sanctuary in Kent, England on 14 March following a fundraising effort by director Cam Whitnall, who collected £500,000 to support her and four other rescued lions.
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The procedure was performed on last week by veterinary dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has cared for hundreds of large felines.
"When I examined Lira's jaw and mouth, I could see right away the broken tooth was highly inflamed," said the dentist.
He believed the infection was due to a injury sustained over twelve months back, leading to bacteria 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 safest way," he said.
Mr Kertesz explained that as Lira did not need to catch prey, extraction was the most "sensible and ethical solution."
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The sanctuary said the extracted tooth was 8cm (3.14 inches) long, with Mr Kertesz having to extract a pocket of pus from beneath the tooth and seal the significant opening with seven dissolving sutures.
He additionally conducted a dental procedure on the corresponding top fang, which was also found to be infected.
The curator, manager at The Big Cat Sanctuary, declared the procedure was a "total triumph."
She said the staff had observed "a minor swelling on Lira's jawline" but it had been difficult to determine "the extent of the problem."
"Lira will be somewhat sore to initially, but now that the toxins are out of her body, she will begin improving over the next few days," commented Ms Smith.
This vital operation marks a major milestone in the lioness's healing process after her rescue from Ukraine.
