Phaisal Noophankhao, head of Moo 6 village, said the female serow had injured itself after falling from a pickup near an intersection in Tambon Bang Luek, in Mueang district. The vet administered an intravenous feed and a pain-killing injection, and used a wet cloth to cool its temperature down. The serow was later sent to the Prince Chumphon Wildlife Sanctuary for rehabilitation. Pichai Phokrasang, a vet and chief of the animal health division of the Chumphon Livestock Development Office, said the serow had not been seriously injured, and its condition had improved after it was given the painkiller and intravenous feed. Pornchai Sitthikaset, chief of the Prince Chumphon Wildlife Sanctuary, said serows are a protected species and members of the public are not allowed by law to own them.
