Published: Nov. 20, 2020, midnight

b'Alan from the Atascadero Zoo called me. Chiquita, one of their spider monkeys had stopped eating and developed diarrhea. She looked horrible when I examined her, appearing weak and listless, about to check out.\\r\\nThe zoo had no facilities to treat her properly. I needed to bring her to my house for convalescence. Because she had diarrhea, I took a stool sample sending it to the lab for identification. The lab would run a sensitivity test to tell me which antibiotic was the most efficacious. Placing Chiquita in a portable dog kennel, I brought her home.'
