We didn't do the elephant today. Instead we went to help a cheetah that had been badly injured in a fight with 2 'rogue' cheetahs from the neighbouring reserve. It had severe bite wounds to its back end, as well as a torn testicle and a large cut on it's head. His brother was killed in the fight. We had to dart him and carry him out of the bush and then we cleaned and stitched him up. He will hopefully be ok as long as the wounds don't get infected. We drove through an amazing game reserve to get there. It started off cold but got very hot throughout the day. Tomorrow we are loading some buffalo into a truck and we might get chance to do a hippo. I'm having an awesome time so far!!!!
Also got some sad news about the puppy that was at the vets last year. Thankfully she got a really good home and was really happy. However after a few months she was fatally bitten by a snake whilst protecting the owners young child. She attacked the snake but didn't make the journey to the vets. I'm so glad she got a happy home as I thought she'd have to be put to sleep at the rescue centre because of her nervousness. R.I.P puppy
