Neelam
Yasin Khan surrendered his bear and was pleased to be able to rehabilitate himself and his family in an alternate lifestyle. Neelam however had a terrified life and was extremely aggressive and scared when she first arrived at the rescue facility. But Aryan seemed to have formed a firm friendship with her and he leads her around the enclosure. She eats a little wheat porridge with milk. She suffers from dental problems and anorexia. The vets have removed the nose ropes and begun the liver toning feed additives and vitamins necessary to build up their strength before we can attempt any dental work. The prophylactic treatment for tuberculosis is on as well as the antibiotics for the muzzle to heal. Neelam is a large bear and has to put on the weight appropriate for her size.
She also has to learn to eat the rotis and fruits that feature on every bear’s menu but she ignores them currently. Neelam also has to learn to trust her keepers and hence they are very gentle with her and try to get her to taste different foodstuffs. She has partial eyesight and it is hoped that a good diet and the tonics may help her.
