Snow leopard Pasha receives first hip replacement in captivity
Pasha the eight year old snow leopard at the Kansas City Zoo underwent a total hip replacement in the right hip with plans for a left hip replacement in about six months. Veterinarians led by Dr James Cook at the University of Missouri performed the two hour operation with anesthesia extended for X rays. The costly procedure funded by Anheuser Busch aims to restore pain free life and potential breeding with Fisher, though the animals have not bonded yet.
