Ukraine vibes 📸
Thank you for this amazing birthday present. Finally had a chance to sit down and look at the stunning photos created by who took me through a photoshoot last week.

Its fair to say my slavic stare needs some more practice...'more sassy'....'more bitch' 🤣

I dont often make it infront of a camera but this was a blast. And in beautiful Kyiv, in the crisp spring sunlight, and no air raid sirens to interrupt! The stars aligned.

Thank you Olha for this super gift. I will treasure these photos forever x

The lab test 🐕 and cat scan 🐈 busy at work.

It's been a few days of collecting our final donations for Ukraine, as I pack it, weigh it, unpack it, repack it, adjust, repackage...drag, sweat, curse... you get the idea.

4 stuffed suitcases for Ukrainian animals. 💙

Despite a Virginia tornado warning, delayed departure, destination airport strike, and a drone hitting a national monument (my favorite one - Maidan) right across the road from the flat im staying from wednesday - all seems to be on track.

Now begins the difficult bit - dragging all of that across europe, and via train, into Ukraine.

Wish me luck!

A very interesting case of a male rhino, who as a result of a fight, had managed to split his horn. During our recent dehorning mission in Namibia, we took the opportunity to knock him down to get a closer look.

Much like a hoof abscess in a horse, there was a large abscess under the horn, and as we cut away the dead tissue, puss was released, and even a few maggots were exposed!

Aggressive removal of dead tissue is the best treatment plan in cases like this. Leaving under-run tissue will just allow the abscess to fester and anaerobic bacteria to build up. A lot of tissue from his horn was removed. Antibiotics and anti inflammatories were injected, and he was woken up.

This case will likely need at least 2 more treatments to cut back tissue and ensure the abscess grows out well. Crossing fingers for a speedy recovery for Zoro.

Can you guess what it is?

So special to visit this special sanctuary for and meet this most precious little one.

Separated from her mum, with no sign of any elephant herds around, she wandered into a ranger camp, and was thankfully brought to Wild Is Life for care and rehabilitation. 🤍🐘

Looking forward to following her journey in the years to come.

20 years ago today my girl. ️🕑🐴🪽

How can a grown adult miss a little pony she lost 20 years ago so much that she still can't talk about it without crying...

I guess I am blessed to have loved someone so deeply that it will burn for the rest of my life. I wish you could have stayed longer. I wish you could have walked more of this journey with me.

Loosing you set me firmly on the path I walk now. Because of you, I became a vet. Because of you, I do my best to make sure that no other little girls have to feel the loss of such a special friend. Because of you, I try and save as many 'Tanwens' as I can.

It's gone a bit more global than I promised you that morning in 2005, and theres still a long way to go my girl 💗. Today I missed you. The pony who saved me, who changed me, who showed me what it was to love beyond life, and who will stay with me forever.

Golden hour and our last perfect night in Namibia with beautiful rhinos and lovely people.

When the cat gets out of the bag.

This beautiful lioness made a break from her reserve to a neighbouring property. Thankfully, we were able to respond quickly and vet her loaded up and returned!

Whilst the call that was initially for 1 lioness, eagle eyes spotted a 2nd lioness behind the fence and thankfully both were immobilized and returned together. Despite having scratched a lot of their claws down trying to get through the fence to each other, and having hurt their noses with the same endeavor, they will heal well over the coming weeks.
