How animals are treated in Israel

It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the statement that the attitude of the authorities to the health of their own citizens testifies to the standard of living in the country. Not only people, but also animals. A specific marker. And with this in Israel, complete order. I had to verify this personally when I visited the hospital of the Ramat Gan Safari Zoo and looked at how our younger brothers were being treated there.

In this small operating room, about 4 thousand (!) Animal operations are performed annually. And more often than not even the inhabitants of the zoo, but to everyone else. Anyone can bring here their pet or even just a sufferer picked up on the street, and they will immediately receive the necessary assistance.

The hospital has everything you need to provide any assistance to animals. Here you immediately begin to recall what kind of animal diversity is there in the world and unwittingly scratching the back of your head.

Everything is convenient, everything is at hand.

This is how the veterinary apparatus for anesthesia looks like.

There are two operating rooms. When we were allowed to come here, we saw how one of them was helping a dove that someone had brought from the street.

The dove turned out to have a broken wing.

We listen to the breath and heartbeat. It seems that everything is in order, resuscitation measures are not required.

A special device like the "Elizabethan collar" so that the bird does not bite and does not interfere with the operation.

It was surprising, of course, how the staff relates to an ordinary street animal, of which there are millions. And the pigeon will not only have an operation, but also provide the necessary postoperative observation. Sometimes they don’t relate to people like that, but here is a dove.

And in the next operating room they conjure over one of the inhabitants of the zoo.

This is a penguin who unsuccessfully fell from a stone, damaged a wing, paws, and also received bruises of internal organs.

Well, poor thing in good hands. You could say, born again.

It turned out that there was still no fracture. It’s just a dislocation and it’s important to correct it correctly.

Due to the injuries, the penguin could not eat on its own, so one of the main tasks is parenteral nutrition. But this is not an easy task - to make an intravenous drip infusion to such a patient.
