| Video Discription | The road to healing is long and bumpy. Phabeni is continuing to stay at the orphanage during the day as he is still recovering. While he drinks some of the formula, he is still leaving a large amount at times and therefore not getting in enough energy and nutrition. It is raining so we are keeping him warm with a blanket inside the nursery. We are giving him drips to boost his energy and replenish his body with necessary vitamins. He is eating a mix of apples, lucerne which is high in protein, bana grass and sometimes sweet potatoes. We had tried to plan for a second blood transfusion earlier in the week but it was too hot. We will go ahead with the transfusion later today. As we found that Phabeni liked the formula no longer stocked in shops, we contacted the supplier to see if it is possible to provide us with stock. This is obviously not a quick process as the manufacturers need to organise the machinery and equipment to make the batches for us. In the meantime we are trying all kinds of different ways to get Phabeni a milk formula he likes and takes consistently. He is definitely a picky eater! We need to keep him at the orphanage as his energy is very low. But we have brought Jabulani by to visit at the fence and this gave Phabeni great joy. He is also able to see and communicate with the herd at the fence in the garden, and rumbles with them. Recent blood test results showed us that Phabeni has a slight infection. We believe the wound on his rear has acted up again and is causing this infection, which we will treat during the blood transfusion. We wanted to give Phabeni some exercise and a chance to smell the elephants in the homestead while they were out. Even though the herd were not here, their scent is everywhere. Lammie and Spotty kept us company and Spotty did a great job at keeping our spirits up. We are considering the holistic health of Phabeni while we try to get him over this hump. We believe that bringing Setombe to him now would be too stressful and emotional for him. He does not have the energy to endure too much stress or excitement at this stage. Adine has been consulting with various experts so that we have second and third opinions each step of the way so that nothing is missed. Orphan Timisa did not like bottles and would not drink her milk this way when she was still milk dependent as a calf. We therefore have her milk mixed with pellets in a bucket and she drank this well until over six years of age. Khanyisa has been a great bottle drinker and continues to drink her milk perfectly and with gusto. As an orphan Kumbura did not want to drink milk. She was older than Phabeni, at around one year of age when rescued. We managed to pull her through by feeding her vegetables, fruit and pellets. She did not have any underlying conditions or ill health fortunately. Elephant orphan calves are very tricky animals when it comes to milk. Rhino orphan calves can thrive on a simple stable formula that is suited to all. Elephant orphan calves each need an individualised, tailored formula suited to the calf, and one that changes over time to adapt to their evolving needs. VwmNt9kmGuo |
