The Neglected Tiger Cub Was Rescued From The Circus And Made An Incredible Recovery

Posted on January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 by senad

It is unknown how she got into such a horrific condition, but Aasha was very ill when Vicki Keahy, founder of Texas’ In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Educational Center, found her. Since she weighed no more than 30 pounds, she had obvious signs of malnutrition, which should be the weigh on a 3-month-old pup, but she was almost nine.

Really worried about Aasha’s extreme health, Vicky tried to figure out what happened to her. “I asked how a nine-month-old tiger could be so small,” she told The Dodo.

It turns out that the poor little tiger was part of a traveling circus. And because she was kept in a cage with a larger animal, she was not allowed to eat. What’s more, she had a skin infection called ringworm, but without proper care, it only made it worse. So Vicky decided to take Aasha and take care of her. As a result, she was taken to an isolated area at In-Sync Exotics, Dodo reported.

“Aasha’s bald spots covered most of her body and her skin was dry [with] cracked, darken areas and bleeding,”,” said Vicky. “Every day, twice a day, I came in to give Aasha medication and spend some time with her. I knew I was going to have to handle her for her to recover.

And after only a few weeks of proper treatment, the things never looked better for the wild kitten. “After eight weeks of treatment you can see little bits of fuzz growing back to [what used to be] bald spots,” concerned Vicky said.

However, it took almost 8 months for Aasha to make an amazing recovery. “In eight months she looks like a real tiger, and it is time to see how she will react to other tigers,” Vicky also said. And right now, she’s unrecognizable!
