On Saturday, July 21, a team of volunteer veterinarians and technicians from the Peter Emily International Veterinary Dental Foundation came to visit the Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsboro. A resident 16-year old lion, Sebastian, was one of four big cats to be visited by the dental team this weekend. Sebastian, the biggest cat at the sanctuary, was given a root canal, dental fillings, and X-rays. Our staff photographer Sophia Chizhikova gives us a look behind the scenes.
