  • The children’s hospital of Cincinnati should have little stuffed hippos named Fiona to give the kids who are nervous about procedures and tell them the story of how brave Fiona was and how the children’s hospital staff helped her get better. I know the kids would probably respond well to that.

    • Maybe their dangerous because humans don't even see them or know their territory when their already in it, pissing them off, and we don't know how to read their body language or anger quest when their underwater, and whoever is is, is probably on a tiney shitty home made canoe or kayake, which are easy to knock over, BY YOURSELF, hippos are just mis understood like most animals, this video is a great picture into that.

They have been introduced to each other through gates between- but Fiona seems rather interested in the little guy, no sibling jealousy, perhaps that only happens with Human Children 🤔

She’s soooo cute. I was in tears every minute that she was suffering, she’s absolutely adorable! This was such a nice story and what an absolutely amazing group of people at the zoo- definitely a close knit family and genuinely wonderful and kind people. It was so nice to see the doctors from the children’s hospital help Fiona- that was probably the best part. It’s always people helping the children’s hospital, but you never see the other way around so I loved that they showed that since I love animals. Such a sweet and happy story. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤️

On a hippo, though, problem is not only finding a suitable vein/site, but, especially in her case, due to being possibly dehydrated, is whether her veins are stable, and won't collapse ...

    • Steven and Kristy It's not a hidden ad for the children's hospital. It's giving them credit for doing what they did. It also makes Fiona's story more interesting and Fiona's story or history more complete. This is far from the first time that a regular hospital or a children's hospital has done something outstanding for the a local zoo. It's just that you hear about it more these days because of the internet. The only ad type tactic that is in there is to promote Cincinnati so they can attack people to visit or live there which would increase the amount of visitors of the zoo so they will have more money. Not every single thing you encounter is a "hidden" agenda or someone trying to get in your head.

  • I am a retired Neo-natal intensive care nurse from the early 1970's. It was the "birth of the NNICU" era, and was the first in the large city I was working in. This video reminds me of those days. I can relive so many of these moments with the zoo staff here. The baby hippo presents with so many other challenges than a human, but some things seemed a little bit easier. I am so happy for this positive outcome because if that hippo had been born in the wild, it would not have survived guaranteed. One thing the staff has that was shared by the staff I worked with, we would NEVER give up. We understood might fail, but never gave up trying. Most of the time we succeeded.

Then I needed rehab to walk (didn’t walk til 3 and never crawled) and THOSE REHAB CREWS are angels too💯It took moving MOUNTAINS to get me on 2 feet, but here I am today. They didn’t have to do that and I didn’t have to have parents who cared about rehab. I came across a boy with Hydrocephalus who’s UNREHABBED, so he’s stuck in a WHEELCHAIR so his stupid ass mom can get that check.
