Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe video demonstrates the necessary nail care for an elephant suffering from tissue necrosis caused by walking on concrete. The caretaker explains the process of filing and trimming the nails to relieve pressure and allow dead tissue to exit the nail bed, emphasizing that concrete is an unsuitable surface for elephants.
Hello, now listen to yourself and observe.
Thanks.
Nails should be regularly filed under such circumstances to reduce pressure on the nails.
But unfortunately, those elephants that spend a lot of time turning on concrete are exactly the ones that end up here.
You need to open it regularly all around.
Steve will be doing exactly that.
So that this death may remain...
It's not pus; it's dead tissue.
That's exactly why this hole is here...
So that it would come out...
So that it has a wider opening, so that the healthy tissue above can heal more quickly.
Moreover, one more thing...
Today we'll do it exceptionally early in the morning.
Around noon today.
We're soaking this leg in a basin.
About 15 minutes.
To make it even softer.
So it comes out faster.
The ten-pound note is fortunately only in this one instance.
You're already set up.
You're already hard.
This problem has existed for years.
A new one appears from time to time.
Either in one nail or in the next.
It looks quite good.
This is precisely the effect of concrete on the sun.
It's like when you press your fingernail like this, it turns white.
The blood is not flowing.
It's precisely because of this...
Such layers are made.
Just for fun.
That is why you need to prune regularly.
And that still does not guarantee it won't happen again.
Concrete is not a good substrate for the sun.
Unfortunately, we have such conditions here.
Alright, sunshine.
Alright.
I know.
Alright, sunshine.
Okay, okay.
Alright.
Alright, sunshine.
Alright.
Alright, sunshine. Good girl.
Alright.
Alright. I think this...
Hold it a bit more.
And we will be ready.
