00:07These lions are keeping me on my toes. Alright very good morning to everyone. So
00:14today we are going to be doing a veterinary procedure and it is going to
00:20be on Charlie, everyone's favorite. Hello boy. So this is Thor's group. Jabari, Loli, Nez, Charlie and Indy.
00:39Why Charlie? Well Charlie has been acting a bit weird lately. The other day George and I tried to
00:44move this group out of this camp. We wanted to move them because this is a camp that leads
00:50on to the walking camp and by not, by having them in here prohibits me from walking other lions. So
00:56we started with this guy. Look how Thor is pushing him away. Yeah. Yeah.
01:19All right. So we actually started with Charlie, Jabari and Lola and normally that's quite an easy
01:26group to start with. They load quite easily but when Charlie came to the vehicle I noticed that he
01:34wasn't quite sure of himself on his feet. He was a little bit drunk. And so when I loaded him,
01:43which he loaded quite easily the first time, but when I loaded him he started freaking out
01:48when I shut the gate. So like completely freaking out. So I let him back out and let him calm
01:54down,
01:55just observed a little bit more. And then what I noticed is every time he tried to get into the
02:00vehicle, he was very unsteady on his feet. And it's almost like he wasn't seeing properly. So he was
02:07fearful of any kind of noise or the shadows and stuff like that. So it almost seemed like he seemed
02:13like he was in like a sedated kind of state. So we've got Dr. Caldwell coming out. I think it's
02:19actually Dr. Caldwell arriving now. Hello boy. Oh, oh, oh. And we are going to be taking full bloods
02:26from Charlie, running them and seeing what the issue is with this poor cat. He really has had a hard
02:37time of time of late. And Charlie, he's such a sweetheart. He's just going to let a few of the
02:45cats out and keep Charlie behind.
02:49Nezhi. Hello Nezhi Pezhi. Hello my gorgeous girl. Oh. Oh. Hey guys. No. No Thori. Come Thori. Let's go.
03:07Come. Come, come, come, come, come. Hey, hey, hey. No. Die. Wow. You really do like to terrorize everyone.
03:48Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Down. So. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
04:14Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Dr. Caldwell.
04:19Charlie boy. Oh. Hello my boy.
04:41He's one of those that you can interact with. Yeah.
04:47Charlie boy. Maybe not now. So you can see you walking down the fence.
04:52Charlie boy.
04:53Charlie boy.
04:54I don't know.
05:24I don't know.
05:54I don't know.
06:27I don't know.
06:31I don't know.
06:34I don't know.
07:10I don't know.
07:18I don't know.
07:18I don't know.
07:18I fractured that tooth recently.
07:20It can be sore.
07:21It's very fresh.
07:24It is very fresh.
07:25There we go.
07:26That pulp is exposed.
07:28I know.
07:29I'm surprised there's not more bloody crouching.
07:31Yeah, me too.
07:33Yeah, sure.
07:34I think that's maybe the cause.
07:36And it's very sensitive.
07:37And it's also very sensitive.
07:38You just touch it and it bleeds.
07:39It's very much.
07:57I don't know.
08:00I don't know.
08:01I think he's going to keep his head up.
08:03I'm lying in the pool.
08:49Alright, so Charlie has been moved, bloods have been taken, and yeah, we await the result.
09:03What I'm going to be doing now is I'm going to be moving the rest of the pride down to
09:09where Charlie is.
09:11This is what I tried to do the other day before Charlie scuppered my plans.
09:17What was really interesting guys is the broken canine.
09:21That is very new. I didn't even notice that.
09:24So, wow, he must be in excruciating pain and Doc does think that there might be a little bit, well,
09:36that contributing.
09:37It may be a contributor.
09:38So, yeah, we're going to wait and see.
09:43We have another tooth extraction to look forward to.
09:49Yeesh.
09:51These lions are keeping me on my toes.
09:57Go guys.
09:58Oh.
09:59Go.
10:11Go.
10:12Go.
10:18Go.
10:22Go.
10:23Go.
10:26Go.
10:27Go.
10:38Oh, there we go, yeah, yeah yeah
11:16Okay, we'll take you three, yeah, yeah
11:22Okay, Ducker
11:36Why are you like that? Are you insane?
11:38Yeah, Nes, yeah, Nes
11:47Yeah, yeah, Nes
12:10That's it
12:18Thank you, Ducker, that was good help there
12:24You see the way he tries to push his bum back
12:32When he pushes his bum back
12:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
12:41When he feels like I'm trying to close the gate
12:44But anyway, that went well, Ducker
12:45Just drive very slowly
12:48Okay
12:49Charlie loaded pretty easily
12:53Just worried a bit by
12:56He's a bit freaked out by the shadows and the cage and the noise
13:02And that was as a result of what had happened to him previously
13:07Him and Nes seems to be like there was some form of poisoning
13:17Hard to put a finger on it
13:18But probably being white lions, they were more susceptible to some drug
13:27Either a dewormer or something like that
13:30That was used in the meat of the cow
13:34Or yeah, most likely the cow that was fed
13:37It seems to affect the white lions a lot more
13:41So they were a bit disorientated
13:44And in a sense sedated
13:50And so, you know, that caused all these hallucinations and whatnot
13:56So they were scared of the shadow, scared of the vehicle, scared of me
13:59And even though they fully recovered
14:03Charlie seems to have, you know, got this kind of like
14:07A memory hangover of that particular point in time
14:15And so he's a little bit nervous
14:18And so we're just trying to
14:21We are trying to familiarize him again with the vehicle
14:29With making him realize that it's actually a positive thing
14:33And so yeah, the loading was a big deal
14:35And I'm super happy and the walk can continue
14:59How did you learn how to query that, in fact, process it
15:16And that's only how to message out
15:19If you're looking at a Lesson
15:19And the other traveling team
15:20How do you think about motivation to see
15:22Always have difficulty with how to I begin to Ele controle
15:28So the 21st century
