Jessica Price and Dr. Jay Kumaran examine Ghana (while sedated), a 15-year-old male African lion retired from Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. Ghana suffered a stroke, and later was euthanized. Dr. Kumaran's quick diagnosis and treatment helped make this difficult situation easier to endure, and we greatly appreciated his genuine affection and professional care, as always. Dr. Kumaran and his wife, Patrice, announced in November 2006 their extraordinary support of the sanctuary's Relocation Project. The Kumaran's made a significant cash contribution, and will donate all professional services to the sanctuary, and will help build and furnish a new vet care facility on site in 2007!

All animals undergo routine exams and receive vaccinations on a regular basis. Dr. Kumaran enjoys the opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with interns.
