An old she-bear has been operated at the Kyiv Zoo

Buri, a 32-year-old Ussuri polar bear, had a small tumor on her left hind paw.

This was reported at the Kyiv Zoo.

It was noted that the employees of the veterinary clinic of the zoo have performed a successful operation on the old bear. Prior to that, Buri, a 32-year-old Ussuri polar bear, had a small tumor on her left hind paw last year. Over time, due to the fact that an old bear leads a very active lifestyle, this tumor began to bother her. So, the specialists decided to perform an operation that lasted about 3 hours.

The “patient” has already recovered from anesthesia and is feeling well. And for additional comfort of movement, our veterinarians gave her a wonderful preventive “manicure”, – noted in the post.
