Thanks to round-the-clock care provided by the UW–Madison Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seymour, a newborn — and rare — white Bactrian camel, is on the road to recovering. Here being fed by fourth-year veterinary medicine student Tyler Williams, Seymour was born too weak to fully nurse. Because he didn’t ingest enough of his mother’s antibody-rich milk when born last week, Seymour was at risk of developing a life-threatening toxic condition. But he’s now gaining strength and expected to return to his owners, George and Tipi Welsh of Cedarburg, Wis., soon.
