Help us to fund the essential veterinary care, equipment and treatment needed for a critically endangered black rhino calf with a foot injury. Your support will directly contribute to the specialised medical treatment and nursing care required to ensure this precious calf has the best chance of recovery and a future with his Mom in the wild.
A critically endangered black rhino calf requires veterinary treatment and intensive nursing, including regular blood tests, medications, frequent bandage changes, and the use of specialised wound care materials and equipment to heal a foot injury.
The funding raised from this project will directly support the life saving care for Phoebe's calf and other rhinos in need and will help with veterinary treatment and intensive nursing care costs. This includes medications, bandage changes, and the use of specialised wound care materials, equipment and procedures. Consistent and dedicated care is essential to ensure the calf has the best chance of survival and can remain with his mother.
By healing the foot and enabling him to remain with his mother, the calf will be raised naturally, hopefully avoiding the need for hand-rearing in the sanctuary. This will enable him to integrate more swiftly into a wild ecosystem, contributing to the natural biodiversity and increasing his chances of survival in the wild. Such a successful outcome not only supports the calf's development and future but also enhances the overall health of the critically endangered black rhino population.
