Tigress T-132 Dies of Shock Despite Veterinary Care
A tiger named T-132 was found hurt and taken to a special zoo to get better.
Doctors tried to fix a wound in its mouth with two operations and gave it medicine.
They also gave it soft food, but after a while, the tiger stopped eating and drinking.
Sadly, the tiger got very sick and died from an infection.
The doctors did everything they could to help.
A tigress died at the SV Zoological Park in Tirupati after receiving treatment for a reopened oral cavity fistula.
The tigress, identified as T-132, was rescued from the Atmakur Project Tiger Division on July 6.
Two surgeries were performed to correct the tigress's condition, with the first on July 7 and a second on July 16.
Despite intensive care, including soft food and medication, the tigress stopped eating on July 30.
