ℝ𝕚𝕜 ℙ𝕦𝕡-𝕕𝕒𝕥𝕖!!
This sweet boy is certainly coming around to the loving and 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜 our staff are laying on him. His neck wound is coming along nicely and showing all the signs of healthy second intention healing. He is starting to find his 🅅🄾🄸🄲🄴 and learning what a harness is so we can hopefully get him outside for some walks soon!!!

Rik was brought to us yesterday by Good Samaritans who had seen him wandering their neighborhood with an embedded collar around his neck. Thankfully, they were able to catch him and bring him in for care. He was very frightened and in pain. We sedated him and were able to remove the collar that had severely cut through the skin and muscle around his neck. Poor Rik had clearly been dealing with this issue for many weeks. We cleaned the deep wounds and provided him with appropriate pain and antibiotic medications.
This morning with gentle hands and a soothing voice our 𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕫𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕙𝕟𝕚𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕒𝕪𝕒 was able to gain Rik’s trust and help him to take his medications and start on what will be many weeks of hydrotherapy treatments to help his wounds heal. (you can see Maya doing part of Rik’s hydrotherapy in the video)
Thank you so much to the Good Samaritans who very generously donated towards Rik’s care!
We are looking to 🅁🄰🄸🅂🄴 🄵🅄🄽🄳🅂 to help see Rik through to full health. Rik is old English for Strong and Brave and we certainly think this sweet boy is just that!!!

We were super lucky to visit with sweet Lucy a Cotton Top Tamarin Monkey today. Can you guess what we were looking for during her visit?
