For First Time In World, An Operation Was Performed On Broken Foot Of Rhino

In the UK, Knowsley successfully operated on the rhino in the safari park, the Air Force reports.

In the Knowsley Safari Park in the UK, a rhino named Amara began to limp at the beginning of the year, and after the examination he had a fracture of the right front leg.

A team of 10 veterinarians decided to conduct an operation. Amara, who was under the anesthesia, underwent a long -term operation in the cage. His leg was in a gypsum for 6 months, which limited his mobility.

Amara was placed in a certain zone with his mother, and after the end of the treatment, he managed to get to his feet again.

Dr. David Stack from the University of Liverpool, who participated in the operation, noted that the operation on Amar had no analogues in their practice.

He added that they knew that they could install the camera in the joint, but were not sure what part of the damaged area could be seen.

STEK noted that the treatment of the rhino has become really a breakthrough veterinary experience, including many innovations that can help other teams in similar situations in the future.
