APRILIA SURVIVES LEOPARD ATTACK
Two days ago it seemed as Aprilia just narrowly escaped a fatal leopard attack. She was found late afternoon with bite wounds around head and neck and upon arrival suffered from a severe seizure. Because AfriCat's part-time vet Dr. Diethardt Rodenwoldt wasn't readily available, Aprilia was transported to Elvira's Vet Practice in Otjiwarongo for a professional assessment of the extent of her injuries.
Fortunately, her skull wasn't injured during the attack and her injuries were confined to the surrounding tissue and the seizure most likely a result of a brain edema.
Currently Aprilia is recovering in Alcatraz, a soft release camp located within the 20 000 ha Okonjima Nature Reserve where we can have a close eye on her.
She still seems to be in severe pain, but should hopefully recover
fully.
