Kusco, the white danger.

Dear readers.

Wondering who Kusco is? He is a white spring buck at the wlc and he arrived with his two friends, Bizmark and Kronk. He has currently hurt his leg by means of a cut of some sort and so we had to catch him to take care of the wound. Upon catching him we had to use a very large net but this stressed him out even more and he unfortunately jumped the fence and hurt himself even more.

When we caught him we moved him to one of the dark boma's with Zena so he would not be alone. He has relaxed being in a dark space and he is still walking on his leg. We treated the wound with SOS on Gauss and then a bandage. This was redone every second day but now it is healing quite nicely so we are now treating it as an open wound. This means we are leaving the wound open and treating it accordingly allowing it to dry. We also removed the outside factors that could hurt it like keeping him safe in a boma for the whole day so the wound will not get dirty and nothing could hurt it like sticks or sharp objects.

Holding him down without hurting him and making sure he is upright because he could drown. Ruminants push up their food and if lying down incorrectly he could drown.

SOS sprayed on the gauss and then applied to the wound for sterilization purposes.

The wound after 2weeks of treatment in a closed wound environment.
