But an update my friends- Fiona now has a baby brother named Fritz- their mama was able to carry him the whole term of hippo confinement- amazing to see how much bigger he was than Fiona at birth- makes one appreciate how much of a micro-preemie she once was. They have been introduced to each other through gates between- but Fiona seems rather interested in the little guy, no sibling jealousy, perhaps that only happens with Human Children 🤔

This was such a nice story and what an absolutely amazing group of people at the zoo- definitely a close knit family and genuinely wonderful and kind people. It was so nice to see the doctors from the children’s hospital help Fiona- that was probably the best part. It’s always people helping the children’s hospital, but you never see the other way around so I loved that they showed that since I love animals. Such a sweet and happy story.

I am a retired Neo-natal intensive care nurse from the early 1970's. It was the "birth of the NNICU" era, and was the first in the large city I was working in. This video reminds me of those days. I can relive so many of these moments with the zoo staff here. The baby hippo presents with so many other challenges than a human, but some things seemed a little bit easier. I am so happy for this positive outcome because if that hippo had been born in the wild, it would not have survived guaranteed. One thing the staff has that was shared by the staff I worked with, we would NEVER give up. We understood might fail, but never gave up trying. Most of the time we succeeded.

Steven and Kristy It's not a hidden ad for the children's hospital. It's giving them credit for doing what they did. It also makes Fiona's story more interesting and Fiona's story or history more complete. This is far from the first time that a regular hospital or a children's hospital has done something outstanding for the a local zoo. It's just that you hear about it more these days because of the internet. The only ad type tactic that is in there is to promote Cincinnati so they can attack people to visit or live there which would increase the amount of visitors of the zoo so they will have more money. Not every single thing you encounter is a "hidden" agenda or someone trying to get in your head.

Ffion Jones My cousin-in-law had a baby boy who is HUGE. He was wearing 8 months clothes at 2 months. His older brother was two and a half when this baby was born, and 9 months in and they’re already nearly the same size.

As someone who wants to be a nurse, I would absolutely think it was the coolest thing if I got called to do an iv on a hippo.

@nigelft 4 жыл бұрын

Although I always wanted to be a pathology technician, you still had to learn a huge amount of medicine in general, from A&P, to Clinical Biochemistry, Haematology, etc, being I also trained in Basic First Aid, via an intensive, three day course, inserting an emergency IV would be be pretty cool also ... On a hippo, though, problem is not only finding a suitable vein/site, but, especially in her case, due to being possibly dehydrated, is whether her veins are stable, and won't collapse ...
