Born just 3 days ago at the Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon, MA, Molly, the baby giraffe calf had a rocky start. Her mother wasn’t producing milk and Molly was weak and unable to suckle. With some quick action on the part of the zoo and some veterinary specialists at Tuft’s Grafton School of Veterinary Medicine, it was determined that the baby suffered from dehydration and a low white blood cell count.
They pushed antibiotics through a catheter into her long neck and hand-fed her bottles of goat’s milk. Now, 24 hours later, Molly appears to be thriving, hospital staff said.
Molly will stay at the hospital through the weekend, but the zoo is looking forward to her return, and so are we! Hang in there Molly!

I only hope sometime these kind of facilities,care,passion,concern & the feeling for our friends who share Mother Earth with us is thereevery where,then everyone of us can see this real beautiful world.
She is so cute!I hope she does much better.
Thats so sweet what a lovely little giraffe
We ,the human beings are in general oblivious about the fact that our mother earth is equally their mother earth also and with equal rights. Since only the human species are gifted with an active mind,it is our duty to repay the gift by serving which ever or whatever is deprived of the same.
Thank you for sharing, Soumyajit!
