Agricultural Communications medical photographer Tom Thompson captured this view of recent surgery on Friday the lioness at the College of Veterinary Medicine. MSU veterinary anesthesiologist Robert Myer (foreground) prepared the big cat, who was suffering from a serious uterine infection, for surgery. Collaborating are (background, l-r) Drs. Lisa Murray, Simone Hinz, Thomas Lenarduzzi, and Andy Shores. Friday has since returned to Cedarhill Sanctuary in Caledonia, a nonprofit facility that rescues animals and cares for them for the remainder of their lives.
