When incidents like this happens, I hope people will remember that ultimately, these are wild animals and we may keep them captive and train them all we like but we will never be able to remove the wildness from them.
And we shouldn’t. Because being wild is their nature.
And when things like this happens, it is not the […]

The only reason why I’m not looking forward to going back to work is that I won’t be home to watch Nessa in case the reduction of her meds cause her seizures to recur. According to the vet, it will take about 2 weeks for the meds to stabilize in her system so it might […]

The past 2 weeks have been traumatizing.
Nessa developed seizures 3 Fridays ago and it got progressively worse. Dr. Vijay prescribed steroids to see if it would bring any inflammation in the brain down but it didn’t work. It got so bad that she was having fits almost every hour. That night, I couldn’t take it […]
