Rescued Ukrainian Lion Undergoes Critical Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
An adolescent female lion rescued from war-torn the war zone has undergone vital dental surgery to extract a badly decayed fang caused by an infection.
The lioness arrived at a wildlife sanctuary in Kent, England on 14 March following a campaign by managing director Cam Whitnall, who raised half a million pounds to fund her and several other lions from Ukraine.
The Rescue Center
The procedure was carried out on last week by dentist Peter Kertesz, who has treated about 450 big cats.
"Upon inspecting the lioness's oral cavity, I could see immediately the damaged fang was highly inflamed," stated Mr Kertesz.
He believed the dental issue was caused by a injury sustained over twelve months back, leading to germs creating harmful substances inside the tooth.
"My philosophy is animal oral health issues need to be treated in the most predictable, the most conservative and most secure manner," he explained.
The expert explained that as Lira did not need to hunt for food, removal was the most "sensible and ethical solution."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The sanctuary reported the extracted tooth was 8cm (3.14 inches) long, with the dentist having to extract a accumulated infection 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 discovered to have a similar issue.
The curator, manager at the facility, declared the procedure was a "complete success."
She said the staff had spotted "a small lump on the lioness's face" but it had been difficult to assess "how serious the condition was."
"The lioness will be a little uncomfortable to begin with, but now that the toxins are removed from her system, she will start to feel much better over the coming days," added Ms Smith.
The successful surgery marks a significant step in the lioness's healing process after her arrival from the conflict area.
