Change in Bhathiya’s health condition.

Treatment of Bhathiya, who is in a critical condition, was continued today and veterinarians say that the elephant is showing some level of activity.

Commenting on the health condition of Bhathiya, veterinarian Tharindu Wijekoon said,

“Today is the third day of treatment. We think that he will show some progress when we give him treatment today. The reason is that he is taking water from his trunk and pouring it on his body. He is shaking his head from side to side. There is some development in the movement of his arms and legs. We still have uncertainty about his condition. However, compared to yesterday, we can observe some progress in the elephant this morning. In addition, the elephant is now starting to eat at a normal pace. The people of the village come to see him with food and love.”
