The cub, named Hazel by rescuers, was found at the side of the road in Maidstone, Kent, UK lying next to her mother who had been killed by a car.

As she grew, she began suffering seizures and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which causes fluid to build up around the brain.

Hazel was fitted with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) to drain build-up of fluid on the brain into the abdomen.

Following the surgery, Hazel spent a week recovering in the animal hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU) before she returned to the centre.
