Today’s video shares a deeply emotional and tender moment between caregiver and monkey—a moment filled with both love and helplessness. After a difficult day, we finally brought little Jax back from the front area where he was temporarily placed for medical observation. We hoped he’d be strong enough to start drinking milk again, but to our heartbreak, he simply couldn’t.
As I gently held baby Jax in my arms, I tried to feed him. His body was weak, his eyes looked exhausted, and it seemed like he had no strength left in him. The milk bottle was right by his mouth, but he struggled to latch on. I could see the effort he was making—his small face moved slightly, trying to suckle—but the milk just dribbled out of his mouth.
It was a painful thing to witness. Every drop that fell from his lips felt like a sign of his battle—his fight to recover and survive. Despite his condition, Jax still responded to touch. He moved his tiny fingers slightly when I rubbed his arm, and his eyes flickered as if he recognized the comfort I was trying to give him.
I did everything I could to help. I adjusted the bottle, gently wiped the milk from his mouth, and whispered soft, soothing words to encourage him. But still, he couldn’t swallow. It was as if his body had momentarily given up, though his heart hadn’t.
This isn’t just a story about feeding a baby monkey. This is about the incredible bond between humans and animals, and how deeply we feel their pain, their struggle, and their triumphs. Jax is more than a monkey—he’s part of our family. And in these hard times, every small sign of life gives us hope.
In the background, you’ll see other monkeys watching quietly, almost sensing that something is wrong. The environment becomes unusually still, like even nature knows Jax is in trouble.
We are doing everything we can—consulting with a vet, keeping him warm, offering electrolytes drop by drop, and giving him constant attention. It’s a waiting game now, and a prayer that his body finds the strength to begin recovering.
If you’ve ever cared for a weak or sick animal, you’ll understand this feeling—the silent hope in your heart, the helplessness when you can’t fix things right away, and the deep love that keeps you going, no matter how hard it gets.
Please keep Jax in your thoughts. We’ll continue to fight for him, and share every step of his journey—no matter how tough—so that others can learn, feel, and maybe be inspired to help an animal in need too.
