From The Secret Life of the Zoo: This series gives viewers behind the scenes access to Chester Zoo's 21,000 animals and the people who work there. The zoo's keepers are interviewed in each episode about the various animals and incidents, whether it's orangutans escaping their enclosure or tigers getting into scraps.

So sad for Pedro and the team. They did their best. So wonderful to see how much they cared. Sometimes an animal is just too far gone and too weak to survive treatment. It's tough.

No criticism, just genuine interest: were you ever able to determine the source of the infection? How did the female avoid becoming infected?

How did Pedro get cow pox? Idiopathic or from a virus and is this something that would easily spread to other animals in the zoo?
@_Kyprioth_ Жыл бұрын
It could have been easily transmitted by a rodent carrying the disease that entered the enclosure. Transmission is generally only via direct contact with an infected individual. As long as he was quarantined and the keepers used proper PPE (as shown in the video) it would not spread to other animals. Humans can also catch cow pox from animals as it is a zoonotic disease. This is actually how scientists developed the smallpox vaccine! They noticed that dairy workers who had caught cow pox from cattle had an immunity to smallpox. The development of a smallpox vaccine followed this discovery. Quick edit: It is not idiopathic and is a virus.

Cowpox is an extremely contagious virus that can be spread to almost any species of mammal, especially in UK, his country of origin. Pedro could have been infected from any source: contaminated food/water, a sick caregiver or who accidentally touched something contaminated, a sick visitor who threw food into his enclosure, even a wild rodent that entered his habitad could have given him cowpox...

They literally gassed him and force fed him hoping he would recover and i suspect his heart stopped from too much gas. If this is true then those vets are quacks.
