More sick chimps!

Dear All,
Yes, not funny to say, but the last 3 little ones (=Kivu 4) of our baby group are contaminated too!
PASA has fever, AFRICA has a runny nose and baby DIAN is sneezing most of the time.

They belong to the group of the babies I temporarily have at home and I knew these 3 remaining ones would fall sick too!

But, fortunately, the virus isn’t that strong any more and the babies aren’t too bad!!!

This is also the case of elder chimps of our main group: KINA, CHITA and JACKY had to start treatment too but are fine…
Maïka is now enjoying life again after very tough times and is still at my place with Kimo and Santa until everyone at the Refuge has completely recovered.
Maïka feeling a lot better!

I wish all this were finished very soon as we are all tired …

Ah, Roxane, what a hard time it has been there as of late…sounds like everyone is on the mend though. The look on Maika’s face is so endearing and somewhat heartbreaking! Those eyes are so expressive. Good luck, and I hope the staff there is getting some rest and taking care as well.

I hope it ends soon, too, Roxane. The babies are looking a little puny but much better. Do you think they’d get bronchiolitis if they were in the wild, or is this definitely a human-borne illness?

Roxane, I wish a full recovery to all the chimps and thank you again for the news and the touching pictures.
