OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Tuesday afternoon, Oakland Zoo, acting as agents for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, assisted with rescuing an eight-month-old female tiger from a privately owned facility in the western U.S. The female tiger was found to be suffering from numerous improperly healed fractures in her bones. Oakland Zoo's Veterinary Hospital staff performed a thorough physical exam, CT scan, and bloodwork. It was determined that the patient had ten pathological fractures, leading to pain and a lack of mobility. This led to a 50% muscle atrophy in her legs. She was supplemented with nutrients and given the necessary pain medication. "I've treated over 100 cases of rescued big cats, and unfortunately, these injuries can lead to lifelong medical issues," says Dr. Ryan Sadler, Senior Veterinarian at Oakland Zoo.The Zoo's Veterinary Hospital team is working to build her calcium and muscle growth, which can take several weeks to months. Once her bones have built enough calcium, the Zoo's Veterinarians will work with surgeons to determine the next steps in her healing journey. Oakland Zoo veterinarians are cautiously optimistic, though it will take some time, that she will make a full recovery.

Key Points: 
  • Now receiving specialized care at Oakland Zoo's Veterinary Hospital, the eight-month-old tiger has a hopeful future.
  • Oakland Zoo veterinarians are cautiously optimistic, though it will take some time, that she will make a full recovery.
  • We are grateful to serve in a role that gives her hope for brighter days ahead," says Nik Dehejia, CEO of Oakland Zoo.
  • With their expertise, knowledge, and exemplary standards of care, Oakland Zoo is equipped to execute the rehabilitation this rescued female tiger needs to begin her long journey to recovery.
