The Oakland Zoo's veterinary team is trying to save a sick and orphaned black bear cub that was found wandering in a shop in South Lake Tahoe.
The Oakland Zoo's veterinary team is striving to save an"extremely ill" and orphaned black bear cub that was recently found wandering into a shop in South Lake Tahoe, the zoo said Tuesday.
The bear, given the name Nixon for the shop where he walked into last week, is suffering from several health issues, including a severe skin infection resulting in extreme hair loss, pneumonia, a viral infection, internal parasites and an infected bone in one of his feet, the zoo said. "It’s touch and go right now," Dr. Alex Herman, head of veterinary services at the zoo, said in a statement."This cub is a tough little guy; despite his physical state, he’s eating well and is in good spirits. We are putting our best efforts into practicing next-level medicine on him, and hope we can save his life."
