Rochester, NY – The Seneca Park Zoo has announced the death of their Canada Lynx, Gretzky, who had to be euthanized after suffering a sudden decline in health last weekend.
In a public release, the zoo explains:
Zoo staff observed a sudden and rapid decline this past Saturday, with severe neurological changes, causing him to be unaware of his surroundings. Gretzky was anesthetized to perform a complete examination and lab work. Based on the evaluation, veterinary staff was able to determine that the sudden decline was caused by disease within the brain.
The severity of the cat’s symptoms, and the diagnosis, prompted veterinary staff to make the difficult decision to end Gretzky’s suffering.
A necropsy confirmed that Gretzky had a brain tumor.
The staff is mourning Gretzky’s death.
Rest in peace Gretzky.
