Ruben has been watching from the crate. He is still sleepy. He was sedated for travel two days ago and today for a veterinary check, so is sleeping it off. He was covered with a shade cloth, and there was a nice breeze, but he has since been insulated with hay bales and will be monitored through the night. Earlier, Rey Ayacucho came over to watch him (third slide below).

He will do this in his own time. Follow us on Facebook for possible live streams tomorrow.

Below are pictures from this morning when Ruben was in quarantine at Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic in the care of Dr Peter Caldwell while his import processes concluded. Dr Caldwell took the opportunity to give Ruben a thorough examination and begin planning his road to better health. He is going to need intensive veterinary care. Please help if you can.
