Arrived at the ACDB center, the bear received all the necessary care, tests were performed, and following the medical investigations, an open wound was found in the chest area and the existence of a femoral fracture in one of the limbs.

„First, we did an x-ray, we tried to cover the whole skeleton of the animal, to see if it has other lesions. We discovered a fracture of the femur and with a plate we managed to fix it „, said Borka-Vitalis Levente, veterinarian.

The medical intervention was difficult, performed by veterinarians Vitalis Levente Borka from Vets 4 Wild, George Vlad and with the support of Lydia Tot from the Center for Wildlife Rehabilitation – ACDB.

Even if the surgery was successful and the broken bone will recover, doctors say that the difficult period is only just beginning. The next few days are decisive for him, so the bear will be constantly monitored.

„The surgery was a success, but the hard part will come from now on because the animal needs to have a physical endurance to help him during the recovery period,” said Matei Dragomir, coordinator of the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. – ACDB.
