Saved from Ukraine Lioness Receives Critical Surgery
The Big Cat Sanctuary
A three-year-old lioness saved from war-torn Ukraine has undergone vital oral operation to extract a badly decayed fang caused by an infection.
The lioness was brought to The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, England on 14 March following a campaign by managing director the sanctuary's leader, who raised £500,000 to fund her and four other rescued lions.

The procedure was performed on last week by veterinary dentist Peter Kertesz, who has cared for hundreds of large felines.
"When I examined Lira's jaw and mouth, I could see immediately the broken tooth was highly inflamed," said the dentist.
He believed the dental issue was due to a injury experienced over twelve months back, leading to germs creating harmful substances within the fang.
"My philosophy is animal oral health issues should be addressed in the safest, the least invasive and most secure manner," he said.
Mr Kertesz clarified that as the lioness did not need to hunt for food, extraction was the most "sensible and ethical solution."

The rescue center said the removed fang was 3.14 inches in length, with the dentist having to extract a accumulated infection from under the fang and seal the significant opening with seven dissolving sutures.
He additionally conducted a dental procedure on the opposing upper canine tooth, which was also found to be infected.
The curator, curator at The Big Cat Sanctuary, declared the operation was a "total triumph."
She said the staff had spotted "a minor swelling on the lioness's face" but it had been impossible to assess "the extent of the problem."
"Lira will be a little uncomfortable to begin with, but now that the toxins are removed from her system, she will begin improving over the next few days," added the curator.
This vital operation represents a significant step in the lioness's healing process after her rescue from Ukraine.
