Check in With Elephant Bull, Fishan & Carer Owen

- Following his bout of colic and what we think were tired muscles after a day of vigorous mud-bathing, Fishan is feeling much better. He is only challenged now by the usual winter cold that makes his joints somewhat stiffer. He is on medication to assist with this, and monitored closely every day. Here Adine shares insight into a laser treatment idea suggested by a follower.
It is July Bonus Day on 10 July - a GlobalGiving matching fundraiser for which we are honouring Fishan and welcoming supporters to help Fishan through donations that will be matched by GlobalGiving. We will share the link to this campaign on 10 July. Only donations of $100 and up will be matched.
We know how much everyone around the world cares about Fishan and we are always grateful for any help in looking after him. Your support matters. Your support makes a difference. We know it is not possible for everyone to donate financially. But you can also help support the elephants by watching our videos and sharing them with friends.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Fishan is very fortunate to have such loving and professional carers to help him heal…
Thank you Owen and Adine for the update on Fishan. With each loss there is also gain. Phabeni will forever be in our hearts!
Thank you Owen! Glad to hear Fishan is doing better, and that you are all taking such good care of him.
Fishan seems to be such a mellow soul. Thank you all for the great care you give these gentle giants.
Fishan is such a good looking handsome elephant!
He's my absolute favourite, though I love all our family
In the depths of our grief over Phabeni, I nearly forgot about the success of HERD and Adine saving Fishan. His injury could have led to losing him but the treatment and therapy told a different story. This magnificent bull, while not 100%, is alive and well thanks to the efforts of doctors, Adine and the Carers. Thank you everyone for helping Fishan.
Yes the carer who stayed with him in the bush thst first night till they coukd get him home was amazing. And reading to him so he wasnt alone when he was healing.
DO U GUYS GIVE UR ELEPHANTS SOME FRUITS & VEGETABLES?
@@guadalupelazar2384Yes and they give them bana grass which they grow themselves on the reserve.
KEEP UP A GOOD JOB U GUYS ARE AWESOME ALWAYS WATCHING FROM U.S.A..
@@guadalupelazar2384 Sometimes when the farmers in the vicinity have surplus product they will donate but it is not a necessary part of their diet, more like a bonus snack.
Thank you so much Owen & Adine for taking such good care of Fishan.
Thank you all for such dedicated care to my favorite herd of elephants.
We love you Fishan
Miss you Phabeni ❤🙏
Saddest day, for me, this year.
@@peterrauth118
It had me really bummed out, maybe we can try and help beautiful (in pain) Fishan, to ease our sadness 😔🙏
So much!!!
I wanted sweet Phabeni to grow up big and strong like Fishan. Painful he is gone.
😭very hard for me to accept that he’s gone. I prayed so much that he would recover
😭
Thank you for helping and continuing to help our handsome dude Fishan! We love him so!! 🙏🤗❤️🐘
Fishan stands there as if to say: "Hey, don't talk about phones and data. Talk about me!"
I thought the same thing 😊 "What am I, chopped liver?"
I love Fishan's ears. His ears are so large. Just beautiful
Thanks!
All little bits help
👋😄
Absolutely, without the little we would not be able to reach targets.
Thank you so much for your kind donation, it is greatly appreciated.

Whenever i can 👋😄
Thank you everyone at HERD for the love and care to each elephant. 🙏💗🐘🍃
Setombe, Fishan, and all at HERD (human, elephant, and sheep) will need our love and support for a very long time... Thank you to Adine and Owen for sharing with us 🙏❤🩹
I'm happy to see Fishan is feeling better. How is everybody feeling. The pain of the loss of little Phabeni is still immense.❤❤❤
Still immense. I can't shake it.
Thanks! So sad about your recent loss😢.
Thank you for your generous donation. It will help in caring for the herd.
Fishan doing better makes my heart swell with joy.
Fishan please don’t get sick, we love the herd and the beautiful view. Thanks Owen for looking after Fishan so well. That sounds very promising, nothing wrong with investigating these things but your experience is invaluable. Adine, Owen and all carers my heartfelt thanks for the way you look after our beautiful elephants.
Good to know Fishan is better - funny to realise elephants also can overdo it when it comes to having fun!
Mambo's a prime example of that! The rascal ...
Good Morning Adine, Owen and Fishan.
Have a sunshiny day and a great weekend.
Bonjour, Owen, merci de prendre soin de ce magnifique "loulou". Nous suivons avec passion, chaque vidéo. Merci Adine, pour Phabeni, nous traversons cette épreuve, ensemble. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Gracias por compartir toda la información sobre este hermoso Fishan ❤
There is my Fishan. He is a lovely soul. I did not know he was suffering from colic. Fishan, We love you my big baby boy.
You are amazing guys I love all of you and the adorable elephant
I love all of the elephants in the Herd so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fishan is my favorite Bull, so tall and handsome! and I love having Owen giving us the perspective of the carers who work so hard to protect our Herd!
I find it invaluable, too! Always love hearing the Carers' thoughts.
So pleased handsome Fishan is doing well and hope all Herd are gradually healing after the sad loss of little Phabeni. All my thoughts, love and prayers are with you all.❤
I am in awe of all of you. You don't just treat their injuries and feed them, you actually care about them with such compassion. If there were more people in the world like all of you, it would be peaceful and much happier for everyone. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Dear old Fish, every elephant in this herd , young and old are etched in our hearts.
So true 💙🐘
Thank you, Adine and Owen. It's great to hear that Fishan is feeling better. Thank you for the update ❤🐘
Fishan, get well soon. Your herd needs you. I hope the laser makes a big difference in helping elephants heal and get back their full health.
Thank you for all the care you give to the elephants. ❤🐘🐘🐘🐘
Please keep helping the elephants they need you and all of us to help them. God bless all of you.
Glad to hear he is feeling better.
Fishan you must remember that as you get older you must play more gently! I’m sooo relieved to see you feeling well again❤❤❤
How fortunate are these elephants to have such loving care from Adine and the helpers. And the rest of the herd.
We appreciate your support.
Danke!
Thank you so much for your kind donation, it is greatly appreciated.
I've seen the laser therapy used on Asian elephants in Thailand at Elephant Nature Park. The vets use them there.
We are pleased to report that after discussion with wildlife Vet, Johan Marais, it has been decided that a hand-held laser might work for Fishan. We have also been referred to Wildlife SOS and Elephant Aid International, where laser therapy has worked on assisting animals.
Thank you for your continuous updates on the herd!
Hang in there big guy.
Thank you Herd team for your love and care. God bless your needs for the sake of the animals, please donate. Thank you.
Adine, it’s Red Light Therapy that’s very much utilized now in USA for healing and increasing blood flow snd circulation post surgeries, like total knee and hip replacements, etc. also used to decrease facial wrinkles! It’s also very effective for arthritis which Fishsn surely will have post fracture as well as aging. No clue if/how it can penetrate that tough elephant skin but definitely worth looking into. It’s a warm, not hot sensation and it would be wonderful if possible in some form for Fishan or any other injuries with the herd. I worry about his pressure ulcer becoming systemic and more problematic than the fracture. I’m an ICU nurse so anything medical among the animals fascinates me, as well as troubles me. Warm packs around his fracture in winter may be beneficial in decreasing his pain. Course how you would keep it on him at night for any length of time …….We all love your updates on the ‘children’ you have taken in , young and old. You live a blessed life living with and caring for these magnificent animals and we appreciate every moment you and the carers share them with us.
Thank you for the info! I didn't realize it was red-light that they were referring to. The thick skin .... yeah, not sure, but worth it if it works 💚
Here are 🙏💓🐘 for healing for Fishan s leg. Thanks for these updates Adine and Owen. 🇨🇦
Fishan, you are majesty!!!
Thank you, ALL, for the wonderful work you do. 🐘💕🐘❤️🙏🐘🙏🐘❤️🐘💕🙏🐘❤️ May God bless you and the wonderful elephants. 🙏🐘🙏🐘🙏
Love the big Fishan. Anything that can be done to make him pain free, would be a miracle. Thanks Adine and Owen. 🐘😊
Definitely thank you, Owen and Adine. Plus, the whole team. All of you are the answer to my prayers for animals. Love knows no boundaries.
Great to see that Fishan is over his colic. And the different types of therapy you are trying for them is wonderful! I smiled that Fishan had worn himself out in the mud bath - too much fun for one elephant 🤗 Thank-you for answering our all of our questions Adine and Owen. Enjoy your day out with the Herd 💜
Thank you for your updates on the health of the magnificent members of the Herd.
Thank you Adine and Owen. So glad you are feeling better Fish. Colic is painful and that foot can be troublesome. The laser is interesting! You are such a brave boy and we love you Dearly 💙🐘💙🙏🏻
I'll never forget a carer reading to Fishan as they worked to set Fishan's leg. He is a miracle! I love his gentle nature. He's one of my favorite ellies. Love to all from Maryland USA.
I just love Fishan. In so many ways, he's my favorite. He's so gentle natured. I was so relieved when his leg healed as well as could be expected.
Thank you carers! Looking out for dear Fishan and all the beloved ellies!💜🐘💜🐘
I love Fishan! He is a beautiful boy who has recovered well. Thank you for taking good care of the HERD! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘👍
I've seen this device at rescue places in India. I don't know about its efficacy but it's worth a try.
Good to see the big boy doing well 👌🏻👌🏻🐘🐘
Love the Fishan❤
Thank you for all the care
Glad to see Fishan. He s such a magnificent creature. Love it when Owen speaks out.
Thank goodness fishan is on the mend we love this boy ❤❤❤
Fishan amore!!❤
Thank you Owen and Adine! I’m glad Fishan is feeling better. He’s my favorite bull. ❤
I thought it was sweet that Fishan was one of the elies who came looking for Phabeni on his last day 💔💚
Love Fishan. Glad he is ok now🥰🥰🥰
He’s beautiful ❤
Fishan is a warrior. He's a leader and has overcome his wounds and still oversees his band of ellies with calmness and love. ❤
So majestic and beautiful! 😮❤
Thank you ❤🎉🐘!
Fishing seems relaxed and contentedly swinging that sweet trunk around now!
❤ Fishan❤️
Oh I am so thankful for this update on Uncle Fish,my kindred spirit I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to know/see that he’s feeling like his old self,this Seuintje will forever own a very big piece of my heart. I see so many similarities between him and I with our physical disabilities he’s such an amazing elephant with his wise,kind soul and truly survivor spirit bc truthfully neither one of us should have made it through our battles yet thanks to some incredible people and medical help we’re here today and I sure am grateful for that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Fish pushed himself a little harder than his body was used to I tend to do that as well sometimes and end up dealing with the consequences of pain flare ups later so I really understand what Fish has to deal with,thank you Owen & Co. for such a nice update and for providing Fishan the best TLC in all of South Africa 🇿🇦 💚🐘🤗🩶☀️🌈
❤
@Shannon thanks you per le profonde parole su Fishan ,animo dolce, paterno, fraterno ,sensibile come te dear Shannon, traduco sempre le tue impressioni perché mi aiutano a capire, THANK YOU DEAR.
Hi Fishan! Hi Owen!! Be well!! 👍🏽🐘
Thankyou ❤
Ít is always a delight to see the Amazing Fish🧡 and yet I cried again, thinking how much I miss our Phabulous Beni 😢
Thanks for the update Adine and Owen, we love you Herd😘
@natasia.... hi non sei la sola ancora a piangere per la grande perdita del piccolino dolce. 😮💨😥😢😭😰😓
@@vivianaiacomelli3080 Thank you!!! I can't imagine how his family feels, I'm so sad for Setombe, for Khanisa, for Lundi😢
Every time I think it was a bad dream but he's really gone😭💔
@@natasjadirken5633 hi dear ti capisco molto bene, forza e coraggio.... passerà tutto ma ci vuole tanto tempo! Un grande abbraccio, Viviana Italia
We had horses growing up in the 60s and 70s and my dad would get DMSO from our horse vet and whenever any of us had any kind of pain, he would want us to put DMSO on it. He was the only one who would use it. If he was still alive and saw Fishan, that's exactly what he would want to put on his leg. 😅 I have no idea if vets still use it on horses for pain and inflammation. Good luck with your beloved Fishan 💚💚💚
Yes I agree! DMSO
Interesting. Recently I had a pain in my wrist which was overloaded and DMSO helped me
@@bogdang.7627I’ve been using dmso for years and never had any negative side effects (besides the garlic taste in your mouth), so I think it’d be worth a shot!
I 💜 Fishan!
Hello Adine, Owen, and Fishan! I know that you are doing everything possible to help Fishan to heal. I pray that you get the laser & it will work. I hope it doesn’t frighten Fishan because it’s something new but I believe he knows that you are trying to help him heal fast. Blessings to all of you! Thank you for the update. ❤️😊✝️
👍
Thankyou. I love Fishan. Hope he keeps getting better and better. ♥️🐘
Hello dear Adine and Owen! I am so glad that you are here with us again in person!!!🙏❤💙🙏 And how good to see Fishan doing better!💙🐘 Special thanks for all the extra care and treatment for Fishan! Get well, big boy, in every way!
Grazie cara Agnes ,Fishan è amato da tutti noi .🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😘
@@vivianaiacomelli3080 Yes, dear Viviana. He must be loved and well taken care of, because it is not easy to live with a handicap.💞🙏⚘️

Fishan such a beautiful gentle elephant glad to hear he is better
Be well Fishan!🙏🏽❤🐘Thank you for loving and taking such good care of the ellies. 🤗❤
Bless you Owen and Adina for your special care. You are so in tune
Good morning family
Thank you Owen and Adine on the update on Fishon.❤️🙏🐘. I never thought about a laser machine working for an elephant but, it is an awesome idea for Fishon and it would definitely help for basically anything hat is hurting him or even to loosen his muscles so he can walk better too. It would be wonderful if I could help in paying for it but I unfortunately can’t do thet. I truly do love Fishon so very much and just don’t want anything to serious to happen to him too. God bless you Adine and Owen and also our sweet Fishon and I do hope he continues to feel better and no more issues for him. Like someone said in their comment too, we sure don’t want to lose Fishon to any kind of infection or injury too. Hugs love and many blessings to you both and the precious Herd too. Sue M. Florida,USA 🙏🥰❤️🐘😘🤞🏼❌⭕️
You all do a great job taking care of those Elephants,🐘 ,Keep up the great work you all do,God Bless you All.🙏
Thank you Owen, greetings from Brazil ❤
Thank you for all you do ❤❤❤
Beautiful elephant.❤❤❤thanks for sharing.🫲
We love you Gentleman Fishan and we are happy that you are doing better with the love and care of your dedicated Carers's Team Thanks Adine and Owen for what you are doing for our beautiful Bull Fishan He is an important asset to the Herd and he has such a strong resilient personality and he is the "Knight" of my dear Timisa
@marie-claude, ciao francesina, sono del tuo stesso parere cara, Fishan è unico e raro bull, amico di Timisa e di tutti , è così gentile, delicato, amorevole, ! Piango ancora per il piccolino Phabeni che non c'è più!💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😢😢😥😰😓
Hey Fishan, so happy you are doing well again! That leg really does look a bit painful with its swelling. Thank you for the update on what you are doing for Fishan and about the cream and antiseptic you are using. Thanks, Owen and Adine! 🐘🐘❤❤Hope you have a lovely sunshine day and blessed week too! (And all the carers and Jabulani elephants too, of course!)
Thank you for your care, love and support
Wonderful shot of the three of you - Adine, Owen and Fishan - at the end of this video. Your closeness and this dear elephant's enormity - stuff of legend.

You go Fishan!!
Laser works great on humans for physical therapy from injury. I hope the veterinarian will approve it for the elephants.
We are pleased to report that after discussion with wildlife Vet, Johan Marais, it has been decided that a hand-held laser might work for Fishan. We have also been referred to Wildlife SOS and Elephant Aid International, where laser therapy has worked on assisting animals.
Love the way Adine and the Workers take care of The Elephants ❤❤❤❤❤
Love u fishan❤
Gracias por la explicación sobre la pata de Fishan. La manada ha tenido la inmensa suerte de conocerlos y estar ahora bajo su cuidado.
Los saludo con mucho cariño.
I'm happy to see you both smiling. Life goes on, and the rest of the ellies need you. Fishan is a trooper. He doesn't even let a broken leg stand in his way to live his life. That lazer sounds good, I hope you find out if it can go trough his skin. He is such a sweet boy.
