The tigers rescued from the Tiger Pagoda in 2016 are suffering from a variety of ailments, prompting Thai authorities to race against time to find a cure.
According to AFP, Thai vets are looking for ways to save the lives of dozens of infected tigers after they were rescued from Wat Pha Luang Wat Ta Bua. It is located in Kanchanaburi Province, also known as "Tiger Pagoda".
Banpot Maleehuan, director of the Kao Pratubchang conservation area, said the live tigers were divided into several small groups depending on their disease symptoms.
"For tigers with serious symptoms, the veterinarian will plan a surgery to help them live longer," Mr Banpot said on September 20.

Those with milder symptoms will receive treatment medicine from the vet.
Reserve manager Kao Pratubchang said tigers that were alive after being rescued from the Tiger Pagoda were kept in cage cells. The facility intends to build a large garden where tigers can relax.
In 2016, Thai authorities rescued 147 tigers from Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua temple because they thought they were mistreated at this spiritual facility. To date, only 61 tiger species rescued from Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Temple have survived.
"The cause of these deaths could be related to inbreeding. They have genetic problems that endanger the immune system," said Pattarapol Maneeon, an official from the National Park and Plant Conservation Department. Wild, said.
Many tigers suffer from paralysis of the tongue, shortness of breath and anorexia leading to convulsions, leading to death. Another official of the conservation department said that the tigers were stressed due to transportation and later became ill.
Tens of millions of people travel in Thailand every year. The wildlife here becomes a tool to earn rice for the owner.
Animal rights groups have long criticized the activity. The animals are chained in cramped, confined spaces and not fully cared for. They are also forced to please tourists.
