Beeld - September 2013
George. – ’n Jagluiperd van Oudtshoorn sterk goed aan nadat sy ’n operasie ondergaan het om haar van moontlike blindheid te red.
Die ses jaar oue Venus van die Cango Wildlife Ranch-wildbesigtigingsentrum in Oudtshoorn het verlede Woensdag ’n operasie in Kaapstad ondergaan om katarakte van haar oë te verwyder.
By die groep se aankoms Woensdag in Kaapstad is Venus eers deeglik ondersoek. Sy is verdoof en dr. Anthony Goodhead het die katarakte verwyder. Venus is dieselfde dag terug Oudtshoorn toe.
Volgens Moult het die jagluiperd gou haar omgewing begin verken. “Dit was asof sy alles vir die eerste keer kon sien,” het sy gesê.
Venus sterk goed aan. “Ons mikpunt was om haar lewensgehalte te verbeter.”
Sy moes die operasie kry nadat die personeel agtergekom albei haar oë het agteruitgaan, het Mould gesê.
’n SMS- en Facebook-veldtog is vroeër begin om mense oor Venus in te lig. Die sentrum streef daarna om die genetiese samestelling van die jagluiperd te versterk en die spesie van uitsterwing te red.
• Inligting oor Venus is op Facebook by Cango Wildlife Ranch en by www.cangowildliferanch.co.za. – Jackie Kruger

Rhino calf sight restored after operation
An orphaned rhino calf's sight has been restored after surgery to remove cataracts.
Yvonne Gioa, owner of the Elandela private game reserve outside Hoedspruit in Mpumalanga, told the Beeld the operation was a miracle.
Dr. Anthony Goodhead removed two cataracts that had developed on the calf's retinas. During a follow-up consultation in Hoedspruit this week, Goodhead found that the operation had been a success, and said he was very happy with Roccy'sprogress.
