62% Informative
Romain Pizzi is the world’s premier wildlife vet.
He has performed keyhole surgery on every type of creature from African elephants to Polynesian snails.
Unless the surgery is successful, the European brown bear is unlikely to recover after going into torpor’ a hibernation-like state this winter.
Romain has performed the first brain surgery on Champa , a three-year-old Asiatic black bear.
The surgery involves drilling a small hole in Boki ’s skull, making tiny incisions in his belly, puffing it up with air and inserting a tiny camera.
After that, he inserts the thin shunt’, or tube, through the brain into a space called the ventricle.
The tube will drain the cerebral fluid into the abdomen, where it is absorbed harmlessly.
Dr Pizzi waived his fee for the surgery, but the Trust still needs 20,000 towards the operation and aftercare.
Boki ’s shunt alone cost 3,000 and he’ll be on antibiotics and painkillers for a couple of weeks .
He devours three buckets of vegetables, dog biscuits, and fish in a day .
