Elephant begging for life with traumatic Abscess successfully treated & given a chance to live again
Heartmelting treatment to innocent elephant suffering from unspeakable pain with with traumatic abscess. This elephant was seen wandering around the forest border by the nearby villagers. The villagers suspected that there may be something wrong with the elephant. Later they found that elephant was suffering from pus oozing abscess. They quikly informed the nearest wildlife conservation office .Team of wildlife officers and a veterinary surgeon dispatched to the the location as soon as possible. At the time , the wildlife officials reached the area , the elephant was drowning in a lake to alleviate the excruciating pain from abscess. As this is a wild elephant it should be treated swiftly whenever it is found . The dedicated wild wildlife officers do not hesitate to help the majestic giants whenever they are in need and accept any challenge on behalf of elephants riski risking their lives.They reached the elephant with the help of a boat. Then darted the elephant keeping a safer distance. Elephant came ashore when the dart hits its body. Then hobbled few distance in pain.It is important to make the elephant recumbent,because injury injuries as well as the treatments are quite painful. Pain would make the elephants violent and they will attack everything that comes in their way.The veterinary surgeon slowly reached the elephant to confirm that the elephant is adequately sedated. They risk their lives to help the needy elephants. There were few cases reported earlier that some officers have been assailed by the treating elephant.
The elephant is suffering from a painful abscess. The abscess commonly occur secondarily to wound infection. They may become chronic , if not attended to in time. Before draining the abscess antibiotics were administered in to elephant's body. The objective is to boost the immunity to heal the abscess. Anti-inflammatory medicine , painkillers and multi vitamins were also administered. The actual reason for causing the abscess cannot be ascertained.Closer examination revealed oozing of thick and mild yellowish purulent material fron the infected area. The veterinary surgeon started draining the abscess by squeezing . Pus dripping copiously from the abscess No need to explain the pain and misery that the elephant has to be endured.Abscess was lanced at the lower part to establish a proper drainage. Accumulated pus were drained thoroughly using a sterile cotton swabs. The abscess pocket was further flushed with saline.The necrotic tissues in the area were also debrided.They completely drained the abscess removing the accumulated pus. After draining ,the abscess was packed with tincture iodine oinment to prevent the infections in the area. The elephant appeared to be a docile patient. After receiving the treatment, the elephant hobbled back towards the thicket crossing a road. The wildlife officers followed the elephant to track its location for further treatments.They guided him towards a safer region. Elephant was treated routinely with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. The swelling reduced dramatically. After 7 days of successive treatment, the elephant showed a marked improvement. The abscess pocket has completely resolved after 1 month. Thereby they were able to relelieve the elephant from an unspeakable suffering.

Rescue mission to save cute baby elephant trapped in a drain | Elephant rescue kzhead.info/sun/qcWDY7iBhWuEgaM/bejne.html
You must use ppe
IS THIS A GENUINE PROGRAM. CAN I CANCEL MY PAYMENT
I’m pretty sure that this patient (even being stoned out of it mind on sedative) was of sound enough mind to realise that these little biped creatures were here to help. Some of that pus looked like it was under quite a bit of pressure so I can only imagine the initial relief the elephant would be feeling once it was drained.
God bless that man for sticking his hand in that goo 🤢
you could see he was already feeling so much better Almost immediately afterwards well, most people don't have to deal with anything nearly as severe as this. Poor elephant we've all had at least one really bad pimple on our lives and if that can cause you as much pain as it does. I can only imagine with this poor guy was going through
GOD BLESS YOU ALL for helping these lovely animals
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
Than god for people helping poor elephant👍🏻❤️
@tracy_222 thank the people. Not your imaginary friends. Have more respect.
God what god , it was people helping this elephant, if this god you speak of was real why allow the infection in the first place
Please ... God doesn't care
It's so great that the villagers told the doctors, that the elephant was suffering from a painful assessment. The poor elephant got a lot of care. Drainage, antibiotics for a week. Then the elephant was cured . Thank God for the villagers and doctors, that 🙏 helped the elephant. This is a good story.
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
Terrific story😪
Ah, for a world of human angels! We owe so much to the animals who have been killed for the “ joy” of it since humankind took over. Hunting should only be for food, not for trophies, like ivory, is pure evil. May God reward all who do such beautiful healing with their hands.
Poor thing thank you so much 😇😇😇👍💞
I’m so happy there are people out there taking care of these beautiful creatures. They’re so worth our care and protection 🤍
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
id have worn gloves.....
Whenever I start to feel cynical and jaded about the world we live in people like these veterinarians and techs restore my hope for the future. Bless them for their hard work and empathy.
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Agreed. Thankful for them. I love elephants and hate to see it in pain or sick and dying from infection.
Thank you to the veterinarians and techs for you empathy and courage in treating a potentially deadly animal with a serious injury. We are very fortunate to have people like you representing the very best that humans can be.
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
AMEN 🙏
Let the vets know!
Absolutely 💪🏽
These indian vets are so brave and professional!!❤❤
That big bull knew they were helping him and stood there like a king! God bless them for taking a chance to save this fine animal. They risked their life and will reap the rewards for being kind to one of God’s finest animals.
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
I'm pretty sure it had no clue. It was sedated . Just happened to still be standing up. Happens alot with elephants when that dart is hit.
He was sedated, he had no clue what was happening. 🤣 Had he been fully awake and alert of his surroundings, there's no way in HELL he would have stood there so calmly, he would have been charging at everyone there!
I find it cute you're unaware that the elephant was very much asleep 😂 I guess you missed that part but I also didn't know elephants can sleep standing up.
How did you know he identified as a bull.😂😅😊
That was the act of kindness from human towards an elephant. You guys are life saver ❤
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.

That poor elephant….. it must feel terrible with that bad infection. Thanks to everyone who helped it recover. That’s such a nasty wound. These men are so dedicated!
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Just think only 100 yrs. ago an infection of this magnitude meant death...hopefully. The pain before must have been horrific.
Very admirable how these vets cared for this majestic animal! Well done! Very well done! Thank you for serving this elephant with such kindness.

I love that the villagers care for the elephants and got needed medical assistance for him. Thank you all who treated him
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Well... I'm imagining it's tourist attraction also
Probably ran into a farmer trap or got lanced when stealing some crops to eat. Dont blame him he surely was very hungry
@@ElephantZone why didnt they put on gloves instead of letting all the infectious pus get on their hands???
Exactly...I was thinking the exact same thing !!??
It takes a special kind of people to love and care for these gentle giants. God bless you all
Thank you so much for your kindness. 💕💕💕💕
I know this was a year ago but I hope that sweet animal recovered and is back to his old self. 🐘 thanks to all who worked to help this majestic animal ♥️

I’m feeling sick to my stomach just watching this and these guys aren’t wearing gloves. Just truly incredible.
My thoughts too! Where are the gloves?
I bet it really stank! Kudos to those guys!! 👏
I had to look to make sure I wasn't the only one who thought this. No gloves?! BLECH!!! .WHY IS THIS COMMENT NOT FIRST?
Elephants are so incredibly intelligent!! I'm so glad they were able to treat the elephants abcess...

Nothing is more gratifying to me than animal stories with happy endings.

Crumbs, as an ex-paramedic I consider myself fairly tough about dealing with traumatic injuries.....but this video took some watching! Hats off to all involved.
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
That was so touching. I was kind of 🤢 at one point, but also relieved. I have so much respect for what vets do. With no gloves either. 🎉 Cheers to you. 😊
Yep, and I know this doesn't smell nice aswell.
They should wear gloves, protect themselves and the elephants.
My thoughts, get those men some gloves ASAP, protect them at all costs
@@Okararu Gloves won't do shit with that amount of fluids. Simply washing their hands afterward is the best option.
@@TimJBucci Да так и есть. Мыть или дезинфицировать до и после И всё нормально. Слон был очень рад что ему помогли как в конце он хорошо показал своим вторым хоботом
Ooh that abscess must hurt like blazes. Well done for easing the poor elephants pain. 😊
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
Such dedication. 👏🏻 Thank you for treating the elephant. The amount of infection coming out of wound was astounding. So was the follow up work of the vets. Good job. 👍
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Wow! The intelligence to know that it was being helped and the restraint not to lash out. Incredible.
He's asleep....
It's clearly sedated, did you even watch the video.
It’s tranqued
The elephant was drugged up .. a lot..
There must have been some viagra mixed with its fentanyl
I salute to all the officers who risk their lives to safe the wild elephants...but ur safety is also very important...pls use masks n gloves when treating.. hygiene is important..may God bless you all and keep up the good work...all the way from Malaysia...❤️🐘

This is such a beautiful video. Hats off to the vet and his team for giving this beautiful majestic animal another chance.
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
I feel his pain, I had a abscess on my back. Yesterday I removed the last of 7 inches of packing gauze, after 6 days. That is so awesome for those people that helped him out. God bless and thank you! 🐘
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
Yes, I used to hear of Abscess, I didn't know its so painful, when i got an Abscess on my right bum, then as I treated it, another one came on the left bum,it was extremely painful
@@onenrobert8296 Its lymph fluid. You need to have a 70-80% raw fruit diet to fix and prevent this
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw Noted, thanks
Abscesses are dead white blood cells, sometimes mixed with blood. They are not lymph fluid. It has nothing to do with diet but is an infection likely due to an injury or bite breaking the skin.
Большое спасибо за заботу об этих красивых и умных животных.👍🙏🐘
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
You men get 5 stars for out standing work performed on this injured animal. God Bless you all.

I love seeing animals getting help from people and you can see how grateful they are and relieved of their awful pain. They're definitely aware the people are there to help them and put all their trust in their amazing saviours. Beautiful to see that spiritual bond we have with so many animals.
You are so kind
Outstanding work guys; especially with such a larger patient! Well done!
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
@@ElephantZone the vets don't wear gloves
Vets really are on whole new level, they need to communicate with animals that can't even speak directly to us of their pain, only gestures and signs. Let alone that animal is already dangerous to begin with. mad respect ❤
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Amen and Amen! 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
Yeah these indian vets are amazing and brave❤❤
@@ElephantZone Thanks so much for helping these beautiful amazing animals ❤️ 🥰😇

Incredible that this majestic, wild animal stood quietly as he was being treated!
A Very patient patient! So cool to see how it trusts them. The relief it must of felt also. Wonderful stuff.
It probably helped that he was off his chops on sedatives.
@@jimjiminy5836 I agree, he must have felt tremendous relief. I imagined it for him as the abscess was being drained

This is an amazing video. That beautiful creature was so good, the way he stood there so patiently and yet the pain must have been raw 😢 The men were wonderful and treated the elephant with so much empathy and compassion. The elephant could of hurt them or even kill them due to pain and fear. The mens kindness and confident movements reassured him. May the goddess bless them all. May the men continue in their endeavours to preserve life and may the elephant live a long pain free life. ❤
Thank you so much for your kindness.

That was a life-saving treatment. Poor elephant must have been in terrible pain! Thank you to this team for it's work!
Honestly the treatment while it looked insanely painful was probably less pain than it has been in the entire time.
You are so kind
Once again the care given to elephants is so amazing. This poor guy was suffering greatly with that huge abscess. Don’t think getting relief standing in the water was much help. There was probably so many germs in that water getting into the open wound. The kindness of the villagers to watch out for elephants in need is heartwarming. They would not get the care from the vet team if they had not been vigilant in spotting the elephant. The vet team gives such care in following up to see that the elephant recovers properly. Great job everyone ❤
💕💕💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for your kindness.
If it was experiencing a fever the cooler water may have provided some relief.
He KNOWS that they are helping him... Elephantes are VERY smart, horses are too. I love all the animales.... I feed all my streets squirrels and gave them names, they have there own personalities each squirrels mannerisms and how they approach each new morning differs between them.
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
You guys are so brave. Thank you for everything you do to preserve and protect wildlife.
Yes, thank you
So happy the team were able to eleviate the Ellie's pain by lancing the abscess, a treat him back to health

This is a heart warming tale. I don't know why but I have always loved elephants. Everything about those improbable, leathery, animals appeals to some part of me. I'd like to think that this one is now in the best of health and about to enjoy decades of a happy elephantine life. The virtuous people who went to such great lengths to alleviate the suffering of this mighty beast deserve the highest appreciation and thanks.

Bless all the folks who risk their life to help elephant. Surprised they were not wearing hand gloves.

I don't know you & you don't know me but thank you so much to the villagers & especially the vets who took care of this elephant. It's so good to know that there's people to care about nature's beasts and they're able to get the care they may need no matter what. Your kindness makes me happy & also makes me cry. Always be there for them. They need you. God is watching & he knows what you all have done. Never stop helping them. Thank you to both of you, God bless you all & God bless your elephant.

Draining the pus from the Elephant is a huge relief to these gentle giants and removes a lot of pain. I'm so happy to see these wonderful animals taken care of as their numbers are dwindling at a scary rate. I love elephants and I pray we can keep them on our planet forever.
Pray? Well, we need to stop the god-damned Chinese trade in elephant parts. Praying to some imaginary SkyDaddies isn't going to do anything

@karenaillhoff5086 Hai pertettamente ragione!! Bravo
It is very well known that elephants are very intelligent, they have amazingly detailed memories- seemingly remembering individual people after long periods of time, and they are also known have complex emotions. All of this leads me to believe that this particular elephant might have had a positive encounter with humans previously; quite possibly one where the humans helped the elephant as they did here. From the elephant’s perspective, it is in horrible pain, is aware that it is injured and the pain only gets worse. It is approached by people who are not aggressive towards the elephant and the elephant senses that they want to help it. With how much agony the elephant it is, it has no other choice than to take its chances with the people. They seem to be hanging around, getting closer as the elephant gets exhausted and goes to sleep. The elephant wakes up knowing that something has happened, those horrible pains are not nearly as bad, and the elephant definitely feels much better. As days go on (and antibiotics are working away) the elephant realizes that it is getting better and better with each passing day. Before long, the elephant doesn’t even remember what those old, horrible pains feel like. Then, months, years, decades later, it gets those horrible pains again. The elephant remembers that it once had those same pains, but when he went near the people and trusted them, it made those pains go away very quickly. My guess is that the elephant would approach the humans and hope for the same outcome. As a matter of fact, that could very well be why happened in this video. Regardless of that elephant’s past or future, it is definitely awesome that those people are willing to take very serious risk to help the elephants in that area.
Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Good on ya guys, for sorting that Bull Elephant, I've no doubt he is grateful.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
