In Bishkek, Karen Dallakyan, a well-known veterinarian from Russia and president of the "Save Me" foundation, performed surgeries on birds of prey that were at the rehabilitation center "Zoo Bishkek." This event was part of the "Mission - Good" program, under which the specialist arrived in Kyrgyzstan, according to information from the Rossotrudnichestvo press service.
During his visit, the veterinarian, along with Kyrgyz colleagues, examined and operated on a white-tailed eagle and a steppe eagle. "We quickly found the necessary tools and materials for treatment, and the surgeries lasted about two hours. Every minute was precious, but we managed, and now the birds have been operated on, and their pathologies have been resolved," noted Dallakyan.
The birds that received medical assistance were suffering from broken wings and limbs. After successful surgeries, their condition stabilized, and they are under the supervision of the staff at the "Zoo Bishkek" center.
As the center's director, Vladislav Shevchenko, explained, their institution often receives birds of prey with various injuries, and they cannot always perform complex surgeries on their own.
"We are very grateful that a leading veterinarian from Russia was able to come to us. This is a wonderful opportunity for joint treatment and experience exchange," he added.
Additionally, Karen Dallakyan visited the "Pyramid" veterinary medicine center, where he held consultations for his Kyrgyz colleagues. On February 5, he also shared his experience working with exotic, wild, and circus animals with students from the Kyrgyz National Agrarian University named after Konstantin Skryabin.
