Dear Friend of Jungle Friends,

Last Thursday Wendell was found with a bleeding foot! At closer inspection, it was determined that he was self-attacking, probably due to neuropathy. He is in our on-site clinic and we are changing his bandages frequently and trying to keep him from more self-injurious behaviors. Wendell is on special medications and seemed to be recovering when...

yesterday Kari noticed he had gone blind! Wendell's caregivers are heart-broken. Nicole is teaching him how to find food and water on his own. Jadie and Adam are completely renovating the habitats to be ready for Wendell's disability when he is reunited with his best friends Chi Chi and Puchi.

Wendell was diabetic when he arrived at the sanctuary. He was receiving insulin injections until he became hypoglycemic. Then he was taken off insulin and put on Glipizide. And then his glucose became elevated and another oral medication was added, which he takes three times a day.

Diabetes is an insidious disease and Wendell's caregivers are working very closely with Dr. Schirmer and our team of veterinarians. Wendell is such a brave monkey, and so very sweet. Please keep Wendell in your thoughts and in your prayers so he can rejoin Puchi and ChiChi very soon!

Watch the "Good Night Puchi" video and you will realize how much these friends are missing each other.
