Fears grow for baby Linda
Category: Cercopan, Monkeys, Nigeria, Uncategorized | Date: Jan 04 2008 | By: admin
Linda took a turn for the worse yesterday evening and left Vet-nurse Heather Macintosh fearing that she would not make it through the night. At 6pm Linda was listless, lying on her side and seemed extremely depressed. Heather immediately cancelled all of her plans for the evening so that she could constantly monitor the babys progress. By 10.00pm Linda was vomiting the fruit she had eaten earlier in the day and Heather decided to contact the vet to discuss additional treatment. They agreed to administer anti-nausea drugs and gave fluids under the skin to re-hydrate her. After providing a new hot water bottle for the night, Heather left her to sleep and we all went to bed very worried about what the new day would bring. Fortunately, when Heather checked again at 6am Linda was sat up, curious and strong enough to put up a fight when she was given her milk. This set back means that we will need to delay her return to the group to allow her to recover sufficiently. Nevertheless, all of us here at CERCOPAN are thankful that she made it through the night and again seems to be on the road to recovery.
