Here, doctors perform anesthesia, remove the arrow on the elephant's body, clean the wound and inject antibiotics. There are many factors to determine when an elephant can die from poison arrows such as the location of the wound, the depth of the wound or the type of poison. The elephant may die a few hours later, but even for weeks or months. In this case, they try to prevent the spread of toxins in the elephant body.

This is the second elephant that the veterinary agency rescued that day, and is the 11th person to be hit by the names of ivory hunters within two weeks. Thanks to the quick response of the rescue team, these elephants have all recovered.

The title has been changed.
