Lion Undergoes Allergy Test at Perth Zoo
Australia’s Perth Zoo said “humans aren’t the only ones feeling spring hay fever” as a lion underwent an allergy test when keepers noticed she had some “unusual hives.”
Footage released by the zoo shows seven-year-old lioness Uzuri being examined by a veterinary team under general anesthetic.
“Pet-owners may recognise the skin prick and patch test as the same one given to their own itchy cats and dogs,” the zoo said.
The tests showed the animal was having a reaction to dust, mites and some plants, and vet teams were working on a treatment plan, according to the zoo. Credit: Perth Zoo via Storyful
