Big Gator Vet Visit & Tube Feeding!

  • Another checkup on Dino! We pull him out and with the help of Kim and Charles we tube feed him! His leg is doing MUCH better now too!!
    Our rescue gators are wild caught nuisance gators that would’ve otherwise been destroyed. The state of Florida destroys 8,000 “nuisance” gators annually, but we don’t have a nuisance gators problem but rather a nuisance HUMAN problem. 1k people a day move to FL, unsustainably developing the land, and a lot of ignorant people making a nuisance out of themselves. NEVER feed a wild gator, never have kids or pets near the water, and never swim in gator habitat!
    If you would like to donate to the care of the sanctuary animals, we greatly appreciate any support!! You can make a tax deductible donations directly through our website bellowingacres.org

He lets a death beaked weapon with his bare hands. But then... we watch bum pull an 11 foot dinosaur it pout of the water by himself. It's like there's 2 Chris's!

    Oh dear Dino, you’re gonna feel better soon! It reminds me my cutest doggy daughter, she had IVs in same way, and we fed her with same syringe everyday. Vet was visiting my house to give her the medical treatment every day even on a new year day. The first few times she was upset, since she hates the needle and the vet who gives her shots but once she found that she can feel better after the treatment, she accepted it and she loved the vet, also she was curious about what the vet brought for her like “doctor, what is this IV? and how about this one? what kind of meds in it?” I’m not sure that Dino is gonna accept the treatment, but I do believe he is going to be fine!!

    Ya know, we watch Chris feeding the cute little fluffy things like Asami and Chloe. But then.. we watch him pull an 11 foot, 200 lb. ALLIGATOR of a pool, by himself, and it's just mind-blowing how truly gifted he is handling this big dude.( p.s. I have NO IDEA what Dino weighs. That was just my guess!😅 I really hope Dino can get past his trauma and heal. It's not for the lack of trying! God bless you, Chris and Gabby, and your whole veterinarian team. Dino IS GOING TO GET BETTER ! Manifest it! We can do it! Insane imagine Dino eating an entife half of a hog and then going out of the water to bask n the sun to digest his food and charging his batteries!❤

    My heart breaks for Dino. I’ll be praying for that precious animal. Chris, is it true that if the alligators were fed during cold temperatures that the food could rot in their stomach and not be digested? I’m thinking I heard Savannah mention that. Or maybe I misunderstood. Dino is so adorable and still incredibly powerful even in his weakened state. They are amazing animals. Hugs to everyone from Tennessee. 💕🐊

    It will be so much easier when quarantine the area is done…oh my goodness that was entirely too interesting. I hope he starts eating in his own. Lead poisoning has such severe consequences, including chronic nausea. Can gators tolerate anti-nausea meds? Chelation itself is very hard on a patient… trying to get anything down such a dangerous and frightened animal is mind boggling. Thank you both for taking him in and all of you as a team for taking such a risk to help him. Your vet has some serious skills…I enjoy watching her work on the gators.

    I dunno if it's cause he's so skinny or his looks in general, but Dino legit looks prehistoric. Bella and Big Mac are like swamp puppies, they're pretty cute. Dino looks like a dinosaur, just pure predator even being so sick.
