EPISODE 2
Time For Baby’s First Check Up! 🐾
Guess who had his first neonatal exam with our veterinarians? Baby boy Bakso!
His veterinarians are very happy with his weight, sharp baby teeth, bright amber eyes and his quick reflexes. Animal keepers provided mom Sohni with her some of her favorite enrichment – a bone, while Bakso was away from her supervising eyes just for a little while so the vets could do their exam. His first introduction to our veterinary team was a success, and they’re thrilled with the growth milestones he’s met so far.
This initial neonatal exam is essential to ensuring the health and ongoing wellbeing of Bakso. During the exam, the team was able to evaluate his overall physical health, including a look into his big, beautiful eyes.
Baby Bakso is almost 8 weeks old and weighs just over 10 lbs. We can’t wait to see what he does next!
