An update on Fenya - she has improved overnight!

  • FENYA is a fighter! We have positive feedback this morning💚.
    She made it through the night! Her strength slowly gained with her body seeming to have reacted well to the transfusion and fluids she received. So much so, she chased after Joshua a bit earlier! She drank and ate well and slept a bit too, mostly standing up.
    Her glucose levels were very low - so we have also been focusing on that, which is helping get her energy up. Yesterday she could hardly lift her head and she was very cold. Today she is better, and we are very relieved.
    We knew that her albumen levels were low which blood tests revealed (as mentioned in previous updates), - however, we had been waiting for her strength and weight to increase, to be able to take the sedation. In her condition yesterday turning so weak, we had to make that decision to do it or we could lose her. Fortunately, so far, it was the right decision. Though she is still very weak overall. It is a blessing to be able to have the blood of an elephant accessible to be able to assist in an emergency. We will do a full blog update about that process tomorrow, and hopefully, answer all the questions you may have then.
    While we started sedating her we took the opportunity to move her to Khanyisa's nursery, which has a fenced area with a garden that she can now get some sunshine and enjoy the grass and sand. We have gained her trust enough now to be able to approach her in that area now, without the divisions that we had in the other nursery, which were essential for everyone's safety. Though we still have to keep our guard, as you will see by a clip where she was chasing Joshua. She could hurt a carer, and their safety is paramount, so we are taking it in stages.
    She has taken the bottle from the carers and allowed Adine to clean her wounds. This is a big step in the right direction, without the divisions we had previously until now. She has sanded herself which is great. Of course, this is not ideal for her wounds, but her energy and keeping her going is more important right now.
    Her dung looks great which is also positive after the procedure, and she is urinating. We are relieved she is doing okay - but we have to remember just how fragile baby elephants are, and having additional emotional and physical trauma has an immense impact on them, and their conditions can change so quickly.
    It is great to see her outside now and in the warmth of the morning sun. We will keep you updated.
    Thank you so much to Doc Rogers and the Provet team as well as our carers for just being so incredible!
    Thank you from all of us at HERD to our followers, for your love and support, and immense concern for Fenya. It is really so so heartwarming to feel all the love and prayers from all around the world. Thank you x
    Thank you to the Whimsical Collection for the blanket previously sent for Khanyisa, Fenya has it on her today 😀This is to regulate her temperature in cooler mornings.

      I find it intriguing the difference between a 4 month old (sweet Khanysa) rescue & a 2,5 yo rescue (Fenya). Fenya had so much more time & elle awareness & teaching from momma & family that her healthy knowledge of who/what to be wary of is strong. Seems logical for her to sceptically accept the goodness & love from this group of humans vs while so traumatized by those who brought harm to her & deprived her of mother & family. Delighted to see her out & about in the fresh air & garden. I am still reading comments to discover cause of her emergency transfusions overnight. Did Dr. Roger's sew together her right, torn ear? I know - 1st things 1st. Bless all for your efforts to love & heal all things great & small on planet Earth. I am tickled to watch her curiosity about Lammie.

Learning to trust her Caregivers for lifegiving attention is critical to saving her life right now. But that same trust would most surely get her killed by the very evil poachers who so severely injured her and left her for dead in the wild. God bless HERD.

    I will sleep well tonight knowing Fenya is doing much better. You can see she is weak, but like Khanyisa there is the will to live. It is good she is somewhat more trusting. However, while her wild streak remains I.e. Joshua; she still understood all are trying to help & she allowed her wounds to be cleaned. These animals are amazing, but all at Herd are even more so. God bless! Love for all at Herd & most especially towards Fenya & of course Khanyasi. These two young Ellie's have taught me much. Continued prayers for all! Hope to rise with even better news of Fenya. Good night Herd & again God bless!

    Fenya looks weak. Possibly now that she is aware she is being fed and protected all that previous pent up stress is leaving her mind and body making her appear weak.
    I was thinking she was going to act out. Like you wrote at the end about all the trauma she went through. Also the grief. Oftentimes trauma and grief turns to anger like stress does. The survivors have stages to go through to heal inside and out. I am so glad she is with you to help Fenya through it! She has all the love and compassion she needs and wants as soon as she is ready to receive it.✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏

    That smart strong girl well remembers when being outside meant she was ensnared and suffered horribly. It takes tincture of time to crowd out the old painful memories with the new safe loving ones. When I was younger and we had many kinds of farm animals including horse stables I also took on several rescued horses and mammoth donkeys, each of them abused and neglected. The struggles were real and it would be many months of creative problem solving for us to help them recover (horrible hooves were particularly challenging along with behavior resulting from total lack of hoof care) , but eventually they all became healthy and good citizens on our farm and for new adopting families. You have my love, understanding, and respect for what you are all doing. It is a team sport for sure. I noticed that when Adine was first bonding with Fenya, in one scene we would see Adine in the stall and then instantly as Fenya approached Adine would appear on the other side of the stall walls. Oh I well remember taking those flying leaps to remain safe while working with my big needy animals who were large and lacking in social skills. I think there should be an olympic sport for quickly retreating from large animals! I also had to deal with low glucose and fluid levels in my animals, one trick to quickly raise the glucose level enough so the animal has the strength to stand or even drink is to take corn syrup (karo syrup here in the US) and wipe it all over the animal’s lips and mouth as much as possible. That works quickly to get sugar into the animal while the transfusions, oral tubed fluids, and oral fluids have a chance to really treat the underlying nutritional problem. I learned that trick from an 85 yr old vet. It works well for weak babies of all kinds as well as the older animals and none of them objected to the taste.

    The will to live and survive is strong in Fenya, she's moving like I was when recovering from COVID-19, baby steps. I would suggest before letting her out, water down the sand so she won't be able to throw it onto her wounds. Shoutout to everyone involved in saving this beautiful strong baby!

The sun will be healing for her. Hopefully getting her albumin and red cell count up will help boost her. Love and hugs with healing prayers. Thank you for update.

    Thank you Lord for seeing Fenya through the night and allowing her to be in the hands of such angels on earth. I know it is probably very scary and dangerous to be chased by a large animal like Fenya, but it made me laugh and cry (tears of happiness) at the same time to see her chasing Joshua and him moving swiftly around that yard. I believe she was after more milk.

    I have watched EVERY video you have shared with us about Fenya but I’ve been so overwhelmed that I haven’t commented on any of them. Fenyas plight (and Khanyisas) have struck me to the core. Fenya is blossoming under your care but I can see it’s going to be a long hard road for her emotionally.
    God bless HERD, Adine and the many kind, devoted carers you have. I was struck by a comment (I think it was Joseph) said as he was rubbing her head, he said “these animals are SO intelligent “, because he could see that she already allowed you to touch her and clean her wounds. I agree 💯 with him, she knows instinctively you’re trying to help her and even though she’s scared and troubled she understands.
    I can’t get enough of these videos and run to watch them when posted, I LOVE the long videos, I’ve watched them over and over. 🙂 Thank you once again not only for sharing your ellies with us and for the updates but also for the love and humanity you give them so that they can learn to love, trust and be happy again. ❤️❤️
