I went out to the enclosure this morning to find "Ollie" on his back. "Iago" was close by like standing guard or something. Iago was not making any aggressive moves towards "Ollie" so I am thinking that he was just concerned.
I got Ollie, back on his feet and checked him over. I have no idea how long he had been like that. I noticed that the area he was in has a slight incline. I am guessing he might have been moving in the dark and lost his balance per se....
Today was protein day, so he ate good. Went to the water dish and took a long drink. I think we are going to be ok, but what a scary site and sunken feeling I had as I was runnig to get to him.
This reminded me of "Cooper" or "Butters" that had toppled over.
**Sorry no pictures...I was too traumatized the first time. I did not want a re-enactment. Although he had plenty of stunt stand-ins for the shot.
