Such a fascinating day working with Jess white and two large camels at Flamingo Land! The camels were having lameness and stability problems, the vets had done everything they could. The zoo manager wanted to try one last thing and of course we jumped at the chance of working with a new species (new to us anyway!) We also discussed our enrichment programme and how we could encourage positive emotional and physical balance in the animals. The Zoo is very forward thinking and is keen to put together a package that offers preventative treatment as well as the outstanding care the animals already receive. We also got to feed some very elegant giraffe and we met 'Dave' the Emu, who was on box rest for a damaged tendon. Not sure I'd know where to start with an Emu rehab plan! 😁
