Surgery for Mac

Posted on July 15, 2011 by WildCat Haven

Surgery if needed, is an integral part of what we do to provide the best care possible for our wildcat rescues. Up until now the largest cats our staff has worked on are cougars. This week-end all that changes. Mac one of the tigers rescues we took in from Wild Animal Orphanage last October, came to us with a cyst on his shoulder. We treated him with antibiotics and thought that was all it was going to take. Unfortunately, the cyst has gotten larger and it’s time to take it off.

As you can imagine, finding a veterinarian who works on tigers isn’t easy. Dr. Steve Milner has graciously signed on for this, and we can’t thank him enough for being there for our rescues! We are also very excited to have Dr. Jennifer Conrad here to assist!

Dr. Conrad is the founder of The Paw Project based in Santa Monica, CA. She is flying on tonight and will be here to guide us each step of the way. Her generosity to volunteer her time and expertise for us is even more than we could have hoped for. With both Dr. Conrad & Dr. Milner, Mac couldn’t be in better hands, and we ‘re confidant that the surgery will go smoothly and Mac will be just fine.

Keep Mac in your thoughts & we will post more after the surgery is done. Be sure to visit Milner Vet Hospital and The Paw Project to learn more about these wonderful veterinarians and the good work that they do!

I'll be praying for Mac.  So many WAO big cats had cysts on their bodies.  You may recall Jinxie had a cyst too and In-Sync Exotics had her cyst removed with no complications.  I pray the same happens for Mac.  May God Bless Mac's surgery and he heals quickly.
