Niko is a 2-year old tiger who
was very ill and undergoing treatment for leptospirosis and other infections. He had received every possible test to determine what the illness actually
was. The source is yet undetermined, as is the case with many
exotic animal illnesses. Determined Keepers of the Wild
volunteers and participating veterinarians led Niko to a full
recovery and is enjoying his new habitat in Valentine.
Over a year later, Niko stopped eating again. He was taken
to the vet and it was discovered that he had a terrible case of
bloat. After surgery and following treatment, he recovered
100% and went back into his habitat with his brother Zeus.
