But the minute he saw him unconscious because of the effect of the drug that we injected. Must do all methods to recover first.Female Veterinarian (MD) Chananya Kanchanasarak Veterinarian at Khao Yai National Park Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation or Doctor Bow told “Matichon Online” listen

“The team of doctors had prepared 3 syringes, 1 large tube and 2 small tubes. The mother elephant was very fierce. We must keep the mother elephant from getting close to her cubs before she can save the cubs in the pit. Successfully shot the first tube of pills, about to shoot another tube. The gun interrupted the barrel, but saw that it was starting to seep, so shot another small tube after it. The mother elephant was drowsy and stood guard at the edge of the pond before her face plunged into the pond where the baby elephant was.

with the head hitting the edge of the pond front legs into the pond The hind legs on both sides lay on the edge of the pond on the other side The baby elephant was under the mother’s womb and was fed from the mother’s breast after a night of not feeding. Then the Salika Subdistrict Administrative Organization cable car moved to the edge of the pond. Officers rushed to use a large belt. come to wrap the body of the mother elephant to lift it up from the pond due to concern that the elephant’s band inserted into the pond would suffocate the mother,” said Dr Bow.

and said that after helping the mother elephant up from the pond, it appeared that the mother elephant was unconscious. tried to encourage the mother elephant to come back to consciousness

“The nature of seeing the doctor and another staff try to pump the mother elephant’s heart. It might look like doing PCR in humans, but the elephants are actually huge. Doing CPR like a human will never reach. because the elephant’s chest is wide and very deep But doing so will stimulate blood flow. twitching in the chest cavity It helps to some extent. plus the baby elephant, who came up from the hole, ran into the mother to suckle. Plus the drugs that we injected before us to recover from the depressive symptoms. Therefore, the mother elephant can be revived.”

“When he recovered, the medical team and the support team were scattered one by one. because the nature of the elephant and cherish his children We can only watch as they walk into the forest. I’m glad. I believe that all the doctors of the National Park Service are like this. we have a good team and supporters who are ready to work all the time.”

What should I do after this? also need to monitor the symptoms This pair of wild elephants?

Dr. Chananya said that it still needs to be monitored. At this time, the wild elephant tracking set of Khao Yai National Park have monitored the behavior from a distance

But from the traces informed by officers who traced into the forest Haven’t seen anything to worry about. The drug is excreted naturally through urine within 24-48 hours, which within two days will be completely excreted. and should not affect the baby elephant,” said Dr Bow.
