A few days ago, Malayan Sun Bear Dodo was sedated for his bi-annual veterinary treatment, during which our team conducted a routine health check.
Sun-bear cub rescue
Another sun bear family taken from the wild
WFFT was called this last weekend by locals near Huahin after they visited a mountain village in the South. At this village they found a small bear cub (Malayan sun bear) kept as a pet by mountain people. The cub was very stressed and kept on a leech, pacing and showing signs of dehydration, probably from a severe diarrhea.
Currently this little bear is at WFFT and we hope she will be allowed to stay on a while as her health is not too good. We will keep you updated on her physical progress.
