A Love Story

03/11/2023

Every day, we discover something new about Rama... something new and horrid that brings to light, how excruciatingly painful the first 25 years of his life had been!

As this young pachyderm stands at the Elephant Hospital Campus, gaunt and emaciated, our veterinarians made a shocking discovery. Painful rope burns scar this gentle giant's body throughout! The most grievous among these burns lies at the base of his tail, that has now become infected, and oozes pus.

For elephants, this tail is an important body part, helping them maintain balance and communicate. However, for Rama, it is nothing short of constant agony... a testament to his traumatic past.

Our veterinarians have been worked tirelessly to heal Rama's injuries. To tackle the rope burn at the end of his tail, we have applied neem and turmeric water, and followed it up with antiseptic dressing. Through these measures, we hope to prevent any further infection of the area, as the skin heals slowly.

While there is still a long way to go, our medical team is doing its best to provide comfort to Rama. You can help too! To make a difference for this dear jumbo, please click on this link to donate! https://give.wildlifesos.org/page/136720/donate/1?ea.tracking.id=EleRamaSoc

SHACK CHRONICLES REVISITED

Finally the day when Cristina was due to leave. Feeling both excited at going, as well as worried for her missing dogs, poor Cristina went looking for them at the nearby markets. However her search was unsuccessful.

During the morning, I went into town with some more eggs for the pups at the vet clinic, sitting back-pillon on a taxi motorcycle. The ride was both hair-raising and fun, zipping in and out of traffic. Thank goodness I did not fall off. Hardly any cars here in Puerto Maldonado, but gazillions of motorbikes everywhere!!! Cristina left for the airport that afternoon. I wished her all the very best for her trip.

SHACK CHRONICLES REVISITED
Chronicle # 19 - Day 2 of 7
Thu 7th June 2012

After a good night of sleep I was served a lovely breakfast at the hostel, cooked by Leroy. However, the weather was still cold and damp. I did some exploration along the riverside of the Rio Madre de Dios where the hostel is situated. Interestingly, in a village by the river I could see many street/stray dogs hanging around and scrounging for food.

Later on that morning I officially moved into the Shack. Cristina and I then went to Dr. Boris’ clinic to see how the puppies were doing from a neglected case. We were very shocked to see Petalo’s brother, Jesus, still in a cage when he should have been rehomed the day before. Dr.Boris explained that the new owner had brought Jesus back that morning as the pup, when left alone, had cried all night. So we decided to take Jesus back with us to the Shack. He sure was happy to be reunited with his sister.

Unfortunately, both of the pups have come down with ringworm, so we went and bought treatment from a pharmacy which we commenced straight away.
