Happy World Veterinary Day - Cincinnati Zoo

Happy World Veterinary Day! With about 1,500 animals from roughly 400 species to care for, Dr. Wenninger and his team of two other veterinarians, three vet techs, and a nutritionist stay busy! There is no such thing as a typical day for the Cincinnati Zoo’s vet staff. One day might include a physical exam for a 1-oz naked mole rat in the morning and a trunk wash for a five-ton elephant in the afternoon! The next day could start with a tiger tooth extraction and end with a giraffe hoof trimming session. Thank you to our amazing team that keeps our animals healthy!
