In the Leningrad zoo died the tiger Zeus, rescued in Mariupol

When entering the Leningrad Zoo in 2023, the condition of Zeus was alarming: a deep metabolic disorder, rickets, impaired bone development, collapse of the pelvis, predisposition to the development of chronic renal failure, the press service of the zoo said. The baby was in quarantine for a long time. The best specialists of the city managed to stabilize his condition, but they failed to fully compensate for the problems of the period of artificial cultivation and the lack of vitamins. “In the future, Zeus observed violations of the function of the gastrointestinal tract, in connection with which supportive therapy was constantly carried out,” the report says. The cause of death of the animal was heart failure caused by an acute viral infection - panleukopenia of cats. Although the tiger was vaccinated with a comprehensive vaccine against feline viral diseases, it does not offer guaranteed protection, the zoo's chief veterinarian said. Doctors of the zoo for several days fought for the life of Zeus, but his condition remained stable, and on February 21, the favorite of visitors died.
