Rescued from Ukraine Lioness Undergoes Critical Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
An adolescent lioness saved from conflict-ridden the war zone has undergone critical oral operation to remove a badly decayed canine tooth resulting from an infection.
Lira was brought to The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, England on 14 March following a fundraising effort by director the sanctuary's leader, who raised half a million pounds to fund her and four other rescued lions.
The Big Cat Sanctuary
The surgery was carried out on last week 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 broken tooth was severely infected," said the dentist.
He believed the infection was caused by a injury sustained over twelve months back, leading to germs producing toxins inside the tooth.
"My philosophy is non-human dental problems should be addressed in the most predictable, the least invasive and most secure manner," he explained.
Mr Kertesz explained that as Lira no longer required to catch prey, removal was the most "sensible and ethical solution."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The sanctuary reported the extracted tooth was 3.14 inches in length, with the dentist having to remove a accumulated infection from beneath the tooth and close the significant opening with multiple absorbable stitches.
He also performed a root canal treatment on the corresponding top fang, which was also found to be infected.
Briony Smith, curator at the facility, said the procedure was a "total triumph."
She said the staff had observed "a small lump on Lira's jawline" but it had been impossible to assess "how serious the condition was."
"Lira will be somewhat sore to begin with, but now that the infectious materials are out of her body, she will begin improving over the coming days," added the curator.
The successful surgery marks a significant step in Lira's recovery after her rescue from Ukraine.
