grizabella Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yes, I asked about the lump/warty thing. They're keeping a close eye on it and the vets are aware. I'm naturally a bit worried though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm naturally a bit worried though. I felt sure they would be, but it looks large and red. Hopefully, nothing to worry about in the long term. I imagine when he is old enough, they will do a biopsy.

tdierikx Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The logistics of vet checking a baby chimp are huge... they need to sedate the mother and the little one at the same time... and then there's Zuri who would get a bit upset at the other 2 being checked over, and may need to be sedated too... as she's still dependent on her mum also. If it keeps growing, they will do something about it, but if it's not bothering him, the best move is to watch and wait... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedation is always risky as well, and we've already tragically lost one chimpanzee under anaesthesia. Naturally, if deemed necessary that risk would be taken, but it's never something taken lightly. Thankfully, Enzi is very good at coming close to interact with the keepers, so they are able to look at him closely and monitor the situation. The present consensus seems to be that it's a large wart, but if it keeps growing that may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Oh no. Three marmosets stolen from the Symbio Wildlike Park. :cry: One a baby. So cruel and so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 I just saw that, poor baby doesn't stand a chance without her mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The baby has now been found and returned to Symbio... still questioning people who had the baby as to the whereabouts of the other 2. Fingers crossed bub will be OK now it's back with it's mother... but they really need Gomez (the father) back, as parenting is mostly done by the male partner, and poor Iti is stressing out... T.

tdierikx Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hopefully the cops will beat the whereabouts of the other two out of the idiots that had this bub... and they'll all be back together tonight... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) I think you know the same keeper there I do grizabella... she's been going out of her mind since they went missing. T. Edited November 27, 2016 by tdierikx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Latest from other friend is that they may have a lead on where the other 2 are... Everyone cross fingers, pray, send good finding vibes, whatever... let's see this little family back together tonight! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It still makes me feel sick. The keepers would feel about these animals the same as we feel about our dogs and cats. As for your suggestion that the cops beat the whereabouts of the two adults out of the thieves: that’s what they deserve. They’ll probably get a slap over the wrists and go grinning about their business. I’d like to see them shut up in a very small space and denied proper food and water. Sorry take your beautiful thread about Enzi off topic, Grizabella. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Police found Sofia (juvenile) and returned her to Symbio last night... now need to find Gomez... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Come back, Gomez- your baby needs you!! :crossedfingers: they haven't contracted a bug while away from care and that Sofia is not too stressed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The good news is that the 4 week old bub made it through the night... hoping it will continue getting stronger and will survive. Gomez is a tough little fellow... much sturdier physically than the 2 little ones, so odds are good that he would have survived this far - as long as he didn't get hurt when they tore the bub from his back to give to the idiots caught with it... *sigh* T.
