The will to live: Ponsawan’s story

The will to live: Ponsawan’s story

The poor elephant name Ponsawan, age 18 years old, who had been injured in the deep jungle while she walked to work. She stood on the landmine and the explosive tore her foot apart. She had to walk almost a week from the steep hill and muddy rain to the main street to get the transport and for her owner to call us to help. She had to walk with the huge injury, and take so much time to reach the main road. At first, we found her condition so very weak and her foot rotten and infected. Our vet together with the vet from government hospital at Thai Elephant Conservation center took her to surgery at hospital
