Park chief Akkanit Klangpraphan told the Bangkok Post the baby elephant looked weak and struggled to stand on its own. While waiting for medical help, about 8 to 10 volunteers, villagers, and park staff watched over the young baby elephant. By Monday morning, the baby elephant’s health showed a little improvement, but it is still being watched by the vet team. To help Khaotom stay healthy, Pattra Elephant Farm in Chiang Mai sent elephant milk and colostrum, which are key for newborns to fight off illness. Initial feeds use rice water or emergency formulas (e.g., Enfagrow), transitioning to elephant milk powder (e.g., Enfalac) or donated mother’s milk from camps.
