The Wildlife SOS Rapid Response unit has rescued and treated a one-year-old male monkey from the Prime Minister's House at Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi, a statement said on Wednesday.
The monkey was suffering from heat stroke and hyperthermia, appeared dull, dehydrated, and unable to walk, with laboured breathing, it said.
The NGO received a distress call and dispatched its rapid response unit to the PM house for the monkey's rescue. It was immediately transported to Wildlife SOS' treatment facility for urgent care, the statement said.
The veterinary team assessed the monkey's condition, confirming severe dehydration and hyperthermia.
The team administered intravenous fluids, multivitamin fluid therapy, and oral rehydration salts to stabilise the monkey, it said.
The young money has shown significant improvement in its health and is currently under observation to ensure full recovery, it stated.

The immediate medical intervention and ongoing treatment for the monkey demonstrate Wildlife SOS' unwavering commitment to preserving urban wildlife." -- PTI
