The Buttonwood Park's beloved Ruth, is feeling better after being very sick last week.

The zoo director, Keith Lovett told Southcoast Today that as of Sunday, she is turning a corner and doing better.  She's been suffering from intestinal issues and has been watched by the staff 24/7 this past week.

Lovett says that although this is a good sign, Ruth will only be in the clear if her digestive system can work sufficiently without outside medical intervention.  He says she is looking much better but that she is not out of the woods yet.

We'll keep you posted on Ruth :)
