Saved Ukrainian Lioness Undergoes Critical Surgery
A Wildlife Rescue Center
A three-year-old female lion saved from war-torn the war zone has received critical dental surgery to extract a badly decayed canine tooth resulting from an abscess.
Lira was brought to a wildlife sanctuary in Kent, England on March 14 following a fundraising effort by managing director the sanctuary's leader, who raised half a million pounds to fund her and several other lions from Ukraine.
The Rescue Center
The surgery was carried out on Friday by dentist an experienced animal dentist, who has treated about 450 big cats.
"When I examined Lira's jaw and mouth, I could see right away the damaged fang was highly inflamed," stated Mr Kertesz.
He believed the infection was caused by a trauma sustained more than a year ago, leading to germs producing harmful substances inside the tooth.
"My philosophy is animal dental problems need to be treated in the most predictable, the least invasive and safest way," he said.
The expert explained that as Lira did not need to catch prey, removal was the most "sensible and ethical solution."
The Animal Rescue Facility
The sanctuary said the extracted tooth was 8cm (3.14 inches) long, with Mr Kertesz having to remove a accumulated infection from beneath the tooth and seal the large wound with seven dissolving sutures.
He additionally conducted a root canal treatment on the opposing upper canine tooth, which was also found to be infected.
Briony Smith, manager at the facility, said the operation was a "total triumph."
She noted the staff had observed "a minor swelling on the lioness's face" but it had been impossible to determine "how serious the condition was."
"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 represents a major milestone in Lira's recovery after her arrival from the conflict area.
