Easy, our gentle lioness rescued from a circus in Colombia, has been thoroughly examined by Dr Peter Caldwell at Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic, with blood tests, an X-ray and a gastroscopy.
Preliminary findings reveal a low blood count and ulcerative colitis. Easy will remain in hospital while Peter investigates the cause and options for treatment. In the meantime, she is snuggling in her teff-filled room and being closely monitored by the veterinary team.

At 17 years of age, Easy is the oldest lioness at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, and the ill-treatment from years in a circus will always have an impact on these brave survivors. However, we know that Easy will be receiving the best possible care while at Old Chapel, and, with your thoughts and prayers, we hope that she can return to the company of her companion, David, soon.
