For twenty years, Champa Rani of Kosi had been a tourist attraction for people visiting a popular resort between Delhi and Agra. This gentle giant posed tirelessly for photographs and gently gave children rides on her trunk and back. One day, however, the Mobile Elephant Clinic received a call from Champa's trainers that she could not walk on one foot. When the vet arrived, he discovered a wound between two nails over 2 ½ inches deep. It was infected and swollen. After several weeks of treatment including dressings, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, Champa showed dramatic improvement and was back to eating regularly and giving herself cooling dust baths with her trunk.
Thank goodness these places exist. Wetnose has given £1,500 to help. We just adore Elephants don’t you!
