2026. Foot abscess trim on bull African elephant.

Thank you, it's good. Christians here, we round, we get all these kind of cracks as well. But this is also pressure related. Yeah, yeah, but that's why you wouldn't do it because he would do it himself, right? Yeah. Anyway. But this is what I meant before. You see this line. Yeah, yeah. You would think it would penetrate. Sure. This would be raised. Yeah. I mean, his are so rounded now I can't do much, but I don't. I just kind of go maybe this much, which would be the same. Not into the pad, but okay, let me do this real quick. Okay, so there's no nail here. So generally I would bring the nail up. So I'm just going to open up this space here, okay? Good boy. Again, I start on the outside, okay? And then what I'm looking for is a flap because it encapsulates itself, right? So I want to cut away this, which is right here if he lets me, okay? And again, I start on the outside. It's okay, buddy. I know. Don't worry. We'll do our best not to hurt you. It's okay, handsome boy. Don't worry. I just start here. I want to find the edge of this thing, okay? That's what I'm looking for. Good boy. So now I'm just going to scrape this a little bit just to see a little bit more here. There's a little track here, okay? A little bit. Okay, buddy? Good boy. So now I want to see here, so I'm just going to scrape this. I'm not going to dig into it too much. Obviously, if I cut in here, he's going to start bleeding, right? So I'm just trying to find that edge, that pocket. It's not serious. It's just he's got this weird walk, right? And then he probably leans a lot. That's good stuff. And then we can work with soaking him, yeah? That would be a good thing. We can work on soaking this. There's a little bit of blood there, so I need to kind of wrap it up. There are three completing cuts. Yep, yep. That's okay. That's healthy tissue. I'm trying not to make him bleed, but sometimes you don't know where he can go. I was just cutting away all the dead stuff, right? It's all you guys know. There's a pocket in here, and I just want to see what's going on here. I'm going up. This little thing is here. If I go down more, he'll probably start. It's a little black, right? So I'll try to get rid of the black as well. I don't want to go too much on this side. Good boy. And I don't use two-sided knives because I like to do this. I've got more control if I can guide my knife. If you have two-sided knives, you can't do that. You've just got to kind of wing it, and you've got to be very sympathetic to the elephant. It's probably uncomfortable, but I don't think it hurts him that much. He hasn't really flinched or anything, but you've just got to be sympathetic to the elephant that we're working with. Not that you're not. I'm just talking. There's not much more to do right now. And then we'll see it tomorrow, and it'll probably come in a little bit. It'll probably fill in. You can probably do this a couple times a week. If we could soak it, it would help. He's trying to see here. No big deal. I can live with that. Okay, sweetie? Good boy. It's just probably from him leaning on his funny walk. And the other one's okay, right? We didn't see. There's nothing there, right? There you go. I'll need a picture of that. Okay. I think that's it. Good boy.
