A recently shared video depicts a distressing scene where a female elephant in the forest suffers a severe abdominal injury caused by a sharp object.
Unfortunately, the injury was discovered two weeks later and reported to the wildlife office.
Although prompt action was taken, the infection had spread too deep for the treatment to be effective, and the elephant collapsed before the second treatment could be administered. The villagers built a shelter for the elephant and provided her with water and food like banana stem and pumpkins.
The officers had to clean the wound and remove the shelter before administering a heavy dose of saline, glucose, and medicine to heal the wound. The Vets cleaned the wound using a mixture of povidone, iodine, and negason powder and injected antibiotics, multivitamins, painkillers, and antihistamines to help the healing process.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances, the wildlife team is determined to provide the best possible care for the elephant and nurse it back to health. After the treatment, the elephant was monitored and expected to receive further treatment upon improvement. We hope and pray that this beautiful creature will recover soon.
