I'm glad to know that the research done on rod-and-screw fracture repair in humans can be used for Bella.
Having broken several femurs myself, I'm impressed that Methai could convince Bella to stand on the fractured leg.
That little elephant has a rough road ahead, but at least good doctors.
If she wasn't raised on mama's milk, she may have a calcium deficiency.
With luck the vets are giving her jumbo Tums and letting her walk in the sunshine.
The elephant died this morning.
Asian elephant? Perhaps she's earned reincarnation?
The work they did on her came undone and they felt it was too much on her to try again with the odds so against survival. She was euthanized.
oooooh, that's so sad - about the baby being euthanized.
Personally I think the zoo keepers have more accurate information than PETA.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Yeah - I hope thay know what they are doing.

From what I've read, elephants learn mothering by observation rather than on-the-job training. With luck, the due dates will allow Shanti to do some observing.
