Carob, our Hoffman’s two-toed sloth, recently celebrated his 36th birthday. Keepers decorated his winter holding area with birthday enrichment, although – in true sloth fashion – Carob slept the day away and waited until night to party!

Carob deserved to spend his special day as he pleased after his recent medical journey. Keepers reported swelling in an area of his jaw and vet staff examined him swiftly due to a previous history of dental concerns. It was determined Carob would best benefit from advanced diagnostic imaging and a consult with a veterinary dentist. Dr. Ellis and vet tech Taylor, traveled with Carob to VCA Great Lakes in Ohio. There, our veterinary team worked with their specialists to perform CT imaging to find the “root” cause of concern. We are happy to report that the dentist was able to remove a fragmented retained tooth root, and Carob has made a beautiful recovery!

A special thank you to Dr. Mallory Kanwal and vet techs Ereka and Nicole for their skill and kindness. We are so grateful to Carob’s keeper staff, veterinary team, and local veterinary partners for all they do to provide the best care for our animals. Help us wish Carob a very happy birthday! He will be returning to his viewing habitat when the weather warms up. In the meantime, stop by the Zoo to visit with our other animals! VCA Great Lakes Veterinary Specialists
