00:00Over in the paediatric ward are
00:29two-year-old baby Minnie and her mum Meadow they've been at the hospital for
00:35two weeks because Minnie has the elephant herpes virus known to kill the
00:39majority of baby elephants that catch it she's running a high temperature and
00:45mum Meadow is supporting Minnie the best she can I know they don't look like a
00:50human baby but they act like it they rely on the mum for reassurance you look in
00:56that elephants eye you see a very sentient being Minnie is taking a course of 60
01:03antiviral medication daily which appears to be having an effect on her mood after
01:11two weeks in isolation Minnie is finding the company of just her mum Meadow a little dull
01:18the change in Minnie's behavior could be a sign that she's getting better but they
01:43won't know without her daily temperature check no one likes going to the doctors
01:52especially children they don't understand the importance so they can play up and be
01:56naughty and unpredictable it's exactly the same with Minnie
