    Dr Caldwell is a fantastic vet and explains everything so clearly. So glad she doesn’t have anything really really nasty going on inside her. Unfortunately, with age as with humans our cartilage gives out. Our own 19yr old domestic cat is on an anti-inflammatory for arthritis, it’s made such a difference for her quality of life. Many prayers for Cassassa (if that’s how it spelt 🧐)

      Watching this video underscores to me why relationships (genuine, meaningful) are so important with captive lions; this is how all of our favorite captive lions would have to go down, with all of the stress, etc (hiding in a tree? For a lion to hide in a tree she must’ve been terrified) that goes with ANY movement…and forget enrichment walks and feeling free for just a few moments; clearly, not going to happen.
      This is why I support Kevin!

    I hope she improves. I got cortisone injections in my knees and it really helped me. And I noticed a huge difference in less than 24 hours. Looking forward to update on this lovely gal.

    I probably watch 30 different channels on UA-cam and anytime lion whisper TV pops up it is the first thing I watch. You Sir Kevin are my hero and, I am a 35 year old man and I do not feel weird to say that you are my hero!

    Aww poor girl! It just kills you too see one of these beauties in pain or not feeling well! ❤️ Perhaps her sister could sense something was wrong and didn't want to leave her sisters side? I hope she feels better soon! ❤️

    Poor Cusassa! I have bone Spurs in my shoulder joint and I vouch for the fact that they hurt like the dickens! I am sending prayers for her to begin to feel better quickly. 16 years is a ridiculous age for a lioness!! She is one tough and determined “young” lady!

    @bostjan-sj 3 роки тому +3

    I must say that, in recent videos, it's good to see glimpses of other staff working with Lions too - it conveys across the message that it takes the whole team to run the sanctuary, not just Kevin. Even if it's just a walk, there is always at least one other person involved (i.e. to drive the truck).

  • @Lightwood_AF

    Thor and his crew being the nosy neighbours we love! Glad that it's something that can at least be treated symptomatically. Will she allow you to give her meds and things or will that all be mixed with her food?

  • @np100

    I feel for her. I have the same condition in my back and knees. It is so painful. Hope she can get some pain killers.
    We old ladies tend to get this type of bone degeneration and accompanying arthritis.

    • @JAY1892
      @JAY1892 3 роки тому +1

      I feel for you and her. I’m in hospital on Monday to have ablation on my back. 3 crushed discs that send pain to a different area everyday. Nightmare. I wish you the best. 🙏🏽

    I somewhat know how you feel.....Had two dogs that were getting up an age and both acquired cancer. In the span of two months, both had to be put down as the cancer was inoperable. Really difficult to get through that. As my husband told me, "You can love them, take care of them to the best of your ability, but you can't stop them from getting sick." Keep doing what you're doing and knowing you're doing all you can!

    Kevin, I can feel you concern and worry here around our shared planet. There can be no criticism of how hard you try to always do the right thing given the circumstances. The seven thumbs down are folks who do not see the whole context and flow our your life. May the Lord bless you in all you do and allow you to give the animals the best life possible.
