An elderly patient part 2: Bearie

Last week I told you about Poochie the dog, who was in his sixties and came in to be stabilized so his original person could continue to hug him. Today, I'm going to share Bearie's story. Bearie is a 70 year old panda bear, and he was getting ready to go live with his original person's daughter.

Here are Bearie's original diagnosis photos:

Like Poochie's family, Bearie's family wanted to keep some of his original self visible, but since he was eventually going to be loved by a new person, he needed more stabilization, and a bath and new stuffing as well!

There aren't photos of Bearie in the bath... spas for black and white patients of his age are major surgery, because their colors need to be separated for safe cleaning. But I did clean him, and restuff him. Then, he was recovered in new fur on his head, torso, and limbs. This left his original ears and pawpads visible. He kept his original eye, and hand a new nose and mouth embroidered. Rather than replacing his missing eye, he got a removable eye patch. Here he is before we added his new mouth:

And here he is just before he headed home:

Yes No Monkey

First a bit of history: Yes No Monkey is actually the style of monkey this patient is. He has a metal rod from his tail to his head, which allows his person to shake his head no without touching his head. His body is stuffed very densely with straw/sawdust, and has a mohair body with felt face, hands, feet, and ears. They also have internal skeletons to allow their arms and legs to rotate and be shaped a touch. There were several manufacturers of this style back in the middle of the last century, including Steiff. You can google Yes No Monkey and see all different ones, including some dressed like bellhops, as well as antique auction entries.

This particular monkey belongs to a lady in Texas.

As you can see from his diagnosis photos, he had lost his hands, feet, and one ear, and had damage to the felt on his muzzle, as well as a hole in his tail where the steel of his rod had poked through. He also had a small forehead wound. But for the most part, his darker area, stuffing, and internal skeleton were in good shape.

It took a bit before he came to the hospital (his person was attending her 50th high school graduation reunion!), but he eventually made it out to California. I've treated a few similar patients, so matching his felt was actually fairly straightforward. Given his special stuffing, he wasn't going to have a spa.

Here he is, all better:
