Reason #37 why we love our job…
Because we are lucky enough to work with little guys like this, patient #16002.
This orphan was found on the ground under his nest. Most likely, he fell during the storms we have had over the past 24 hours. The parents were trying to feed him a snake. He arrived completely unconscious and limp, suffering from hypothermia. He was cold, wet, and dirty. His heart rate was around 70 bpm (average would be above 200). We’ve had him on heat for about an hour now and he is starting to swallow and move around a little. He is resting and his eyes aren’t yet open. Hopefully we got him in time and will be able to save him.
