Paignton Zoo Lion Has Acupuncture
One of the lions at Paignton Zoo is
being treated with acupuncture following a foot operation. Recent arrival
Lucifer had previously had a tumour removed but it had failed to heal properly.
Veterinary anaesthetist Nicki Grint
had previously only used acupuncture on dogs. The aim is to reduce pain and
improve blood flow to aid the healing process.
Lucifer got his name because his
number in the computerised Animal Record Keeping System (ARKS) is 666. He
recently arrived in Devon to join two females, mother and daughter Indu and
Maliya.
