good news about gorilla toni

We promised to keep everyone informed about Tony’s health. Yesterday the efforts of veterinarians and keepers were rewarded. Tony was relieved and gave the happy experts the first sample for the coprogram. And today Tony showed improvement in his general condition and resumption of defecation. However, it is clear that the problem is serious and chronic. Therefore, without waiting for a new aggravation, a council of specialists was convened.
The zoo’s specialists were joined by Professor O.P.Melnyk from the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences, O.O.Klymenko – epizoologist of Shevchenkivsky District and other specialists in various fields. The General Director of the Zoo K. Trantin and the Head of Veterinary Medicine Department of Kyiv Zoo V. Kobylinsky introduced everyone to the case, after which there was an active discussion of options.
Currently, the following decisions have been made: while the tests are being done, we are preparing options for the safest comprehensive examination, adjusting the diet and the nature of feeding, stimulating Tony’s physical activity so that he moves more. We also continue to actively consult with foreign colleagues – specialists in the treatment of apes.
So we will continue to take care of our old Tony and will inform you about it.
