In addition to this, once she was stable, she was taken for a CT scan. This is standard protocol for all our pangolin patients to ensure that we can do everything possible for them as well as see what underlying conditions we might not be able to pick up otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>She recovered from her poaching horror ordeal and has already been released. She is under the watchful eyes of the APWG team on a private reserve.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d also like to send a massive thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid<\/a> and Lafeber for sponsoring a superior food supplement. Our Temminck\u2019s pangolin patients benefit highly from this donation, and we are so grateful that we can offer the best supplement to ensure that our patients, particularly when underweight, injured or ill, stand the best chance at survival.<\/p>\n<p><em>PLEASE NOTE: All pangolin patients are housed off site at an undisclosed location for the protection of them as well as our staff.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Temminck\u2019s pangolin is saved from poachers and rehabbed at Johannesburg Veterinary Hospital where both she and her baby, a surprise, get healthy for release to the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10386,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2256],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wildlife-conservation-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
