Baby Elephant Phabeni Gets A Drip From Dr Rogers!

AN UPDATE ON PHABENI ✨
Last week, Phabeni had been drinking only about 70-80% of his milk bottles for five days, leaving enough milk that we were concerned about his health and loss of weight which we could pick up when we weighed him at the orphanage. Before it became life-threatening Adine organised over the weekend for Dr Rogers to visit in this new week, which was a great call since on Sunday Phabeni left about 70% of his milk behind. Although he is feeding in the bush, it is not a sufficient amount to make up for the energy he needs, as well as the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates that he requires. His milk is rich in these, with coconut oil providing the fats.
We need to keep Phabeni's routines the same each day to prevent stress as any little change disrupts not only him but also the whole herd, especially Setombe, Klaserie, and Tokwe. On the day that we arranged this week for Dr Rogers to visit, the little bull enjoyed a swim at the dam with his herd and then the elephants walked him home to the orphanage. Setombe and Klaserie walked Phabeni to the orphanage gate while the herd stayed back. As they approached, they heard Dr Rogers' vehicle and Setombe and Klaserie got spooked and ran back to the herd, trumpeting. The other elephants ran toward them and met at the homestead, where our team tried to calm them down. Eventually, Setombe was able to walk Phabeni to the orphanage to meet with Dr Rogers. The little calf was not keen on being separated from the herd, as is understandable, and let out big cries.
In the nursery, Dr Rogers administered the bull with a drip of saline solution and vitamins and took blood to run tests for any viruses or insufficiencies. We are happy to say that none were found. The vet team checked Phabeni's blood sugar levels which also proved to be good. Phabeni was very dehydrated though. It is never an easy decision to sedate a calf or administer a drip as they are often already in a fragile state but Phabeni pulled through and over the days that followed, he drank his milk - although not all the formula with every feeding. He also put on weight. We are not out of the woods and we do not know what is causing Phabeni to sometimes not finish a milk bottle. This is vital for his health and survival. We are grateful for this upswing but the team is prepared for whatever may follow.
We are immensely grateful for everyone's concern and messages of support for Phabeni!
Thank you to our wildlife vet Dr Rogers and his team, plus our carers on the ground, doing whatever it takes to get the little bull to pull through.

Oh! He drank his whole bottle!! This makes me so happy!!! ♥️😊😃‼️

[@wendi8446]

We're all praying for Phabeni, sweet baby.🙏🙏

[@ShortOrderCook]

Oh gosh, when he calls for his herd, it must break everyone's heart a little. I can see in his body language he is upset, but I also know he needs treatment and tests, and his health and best interests are at the core of this. Phabeni, please drink your milk. Extra hugs to him today and always - he's a fighter.

[@aliceflanagan3672]

Breaks my heart I know that much😢

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

I mean can you blame him? He lost one herd already and doesn't understand why he's being kept from this one (but I understand it's so he can get better) but poor guy :(

[@ShortOrderCook]

Amen and Amen 🙏 From our hearts and mouths to God's Ears🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bridgetsclama]

One thing is clear, he's definitely part of the herd now! He obviously feels safe and loved by them. Hope he recovers from whatever is ailing him!

[@Siouxsi-Sioux]

Maybe the baby is scared of losing the herd since losing his mamma. Maybe keep one of the other elephants close as he feeds, so he can see he's being protected.

[@eternity7477]

I also think he has serious separation anxiety since losing his family once.

[@luvmyshihtzus7327]

I agree with you…I wish they would try to have one or two of the other elephants with him and he would feed a bit better.

[@cattailer1077]

That really sounds like a great idea. 🫶

[@judithhombsch1535]

Exactly he is different and his needs are different. He needs to be with the herd as has separation anxiety. ❤

[@hajijahabbas188]

Yes I also think the same. At least try to place sunshine in the day at the orphanage garden to play n drink their milk together for sometime until baby phabeni recover. I believe sunshine will be a good sister to phabeni.

[@DreamsOfFinland]

He is very emotive because he got 2 traumas and they are always there sometimes ! he has not baby elephant friends ! mum Setombe has to be there with him !! to give him love and calm him ‘ or he has to go to a neonatal clinic !! drips help but not care !! 😭

The medication in the sedative may also have anti-anxiety effects, so that, maybe, he felt less stressed and was able to refocus on drinking milk instead worrying about where his mother is.

Amen to that prayer 🙏 I believe they will keep him in the nursery for a while, because Phabeni is still under 12 months. And he gets his milk bottles throughout the night. So it could be a while before he is ready to join the herd full time. He is a strong little Bull, and I am praying that he will grow to love his milk bottles as much as Khanyisa does! 🙏❤️🐘
