[@LionWhispererTV]

Well an interesting video to view, watch Dr Caldwell with his expert help again. We have had a little run on claw issues for the Lions, some because they are getting older and through age related issues. This time a surprise it is one of the younger Lions at the Sanctuary - Charlie. I know Dr Caldwell will considerably help and benefit the Lions with claw issues. Thank you for the ongoing support and messages. Let me know in the comments what you think and we have more Claw related content to follow ahead. Lion Manicure specials !

[@ADDeeJay]

Kevin, for a cheap solution to their claws getting long, you can mix sand and glue and use paint rollers and cover the bark on the trees in their enclosures so when they scratch it files them down.

Hey Kevin on may 9 2014 10 years ago today the van gills channel posted a video of you playing football with wild lions it was the first Kevin Richardson video I saw I was 11 years old and was amazed by the video also impressed by Livy Ginny and vayetse and bobcats big black mane and now I’m 21 I’ve been watching for 10 years I’m thinking of finally coming to South Africa to visit your sanctuary I’m so sad some of lions in that van gills video have sadly passed away but is your sanctuary open for tourists and how much does it cost kev I would to love to have pictures with you I’m such a big fan

[@ialrakis5173]

Yet another very cool video. But also very informative. Wasn't expecting they needed treatment while living outdoors with trees available etc.

I’m sure Charlie will feel much more comfortable after his pawdicure!

Dr. Caldwell needs a video all about him. His work is truly invaluable & so many animals owe him.

The look on Thor’s face when he sees Charlie lying there still unconscious. Priceless. Jubes is not a happy cat at this moment.

I'm always so impressed by how Kevin is able to herd Thor's pride whilst filming at the same time 😅

Ha ! it is hectic as you can see, not easy. Thank you for the support !

Can't believe their faces looking in when you brought the other lion asleep. They were angry then!

I was laughing too. I get a kick out of the way he talks to them.

[@robinriverabaker4473]

Kevin communication is just amazing with all animals...

[@christinevanwettering6155]

It's amazing to me how you herd Thor's pride into their pens and to be able to get to Charlie.And it made me smile in the end when after the procedure, Thor and the girls were looking on. Either they're concerned for their pridemate or just being nosy. And it's always great to see Dr. Caldwell at work. Thank you for sharing. Hope Charlie feels better❤❤❤

[@brooke5258]

Very precious that they're all waiting around the gate for him to wake up in recovery, just like family in a hospital.

[@skeemarty]

9:48 you can see visable concern on every lions face and it's amazing and heartbreaking at the same time

[@donnamealy4877]

These cats are so blessed. Not only to they get to live at the Sanctuary, they have the amazing Doc Caldwell on speed dial. 😊❤

[@andreadefelice7596]

Just love Doc Caldwell. He is so gentle when caring for these beautiful cats. Kevin, God put you on earth to care for these animals. ❤

[@catwoman0828]

Love the shot of the 3 looking in at Charlie behind the door. They are so beautiful!!!!

[@jennylawson1980]

That explains some of hos grumpiness lately. He was hurting and that was his only way of dealing with it ❤ so glad the doc is there to help.

[@LittleDreamer-42]

That look the lions gave you when you brought him back, like "don't you DARE to hurt our Charlie!!" ... 😅 Love this pride. They might have their fights now and then but in moments like these it's all for one 🦁 Heartwarming every time how well you all care for these animals ❤

These pride prove the point we make other miserable, thats why we are family

[@galadriel4101]

Dr Caldwell is a favorite of mine always nice to see him in a video.

[@PARRISHMELLOTT]

Just seeing him get tranquilized made me sad. I know its for his own good but still made me sad. He is so beautiful!!

[@debbiferguson9669]

Dr. Caldwell is professional and compassionate in his care of animals. Wish human doctors followed the example of veterinarians. Thank you Kevin for providing the best life for all in the sanctuary.

Dr. Caldwell is a great vet, always doing his best for all these animals. I love the scene when Charlie was brought back unconscious for recovery and all the lions were looking at him from the outside not happy at all, like saying “ what have you done to him” specially Thor and Jubari, you can tell they feel for each other, that was heartwarming; I know Charlie will feel much better after his pawdicure. Thank you Kevin for all the care and love you provide to all these magnificent creatures at the sanctuary.

[@YaYaPaBla]

Blessings to everyone that donates to help Kevin and these beauties.

[@dtchouros]

Seeing you do the pride member shout out reminded me of a Cameo. You should make Gabby do Cameos to earn enough money to pay you back for tires. She could make a fortune. 😂 Thanks for the suggestion. It is Friday and I need to go get a pedicure. Have a great weekend!

[@Debra.Justice]

Kevin, another suburb video. I laughed when Thor was pawing at the gate. He was thinking, “let me out Dad”. 😂 Dr. Caldwell and his team are amazing, and we can tell how much they care about the health and welfare of the animals. I thought it was so sweet the way Thor and Jubari were watching Charlie being carried back in. Then they had to growl and let everyone know who really runs the sanctuary. 😉 Thank you Kevin for taking us along on this incredible journey. You are fulfilling God’s purpose for your life, taking care of His majestic creatures. Love to you, your staff, and the animals from Tennessee USA. 💕🦁

This might be stating the obvious, but those claws are just huge! Amazing to see them up close like that with the sheath and all. Good to see the Doc is branching out into pedicures! 😄Seriously, though it's always a pleasure to see Doc Caldwell and his team at work. The lions looking into the pen as Charlie is brought back in is so cute - Thor's expression is priceless! 🦁🦁🦁🦁

[@user-vy2jc2cl1b]

The mani/pedi session is adorable to watch plus they must be so relieved when they wake up & walk without discomfort :) I loved the soft look of the group through the bars when the unconscious lion was Brought up by the humans They were confused as if considering filing a complaint with Kevin on behalf of their friend ;) Beautiful creatures !!
