Injured baby elephant Kyaw Pearl improves recovery

ONE of baby elephants at Wingabaw elephant camp has now improved in health.

 

At the camp, a female elephant named Pearl Sanda gave birth to twins and Kyaw Pearl, a male elephant is now unable to move his back part after being accidentally hit by his mother’s leg, causing a spi­nal cord injury.

 

No getting sick, the little elephant has now restored good health, despite having regular breastfeeding, he has also been given formula milk as the intake of food is low. He has been kept warm in the rainy season in order to avoid getting sick. Now his bruises have recovered but it will need to take time to cure his injury on the spinal cord.

 

The elephant is being treated in consultation with lo­cal veteran veterinarians, and the Myanma Timber Enter­prise is arranging for the case report to consult with foreign elephant doctors. — MT/ZS
