Dramatic claw care in Zoom Gelsenkirchen: Veterinarian in use!

in the Zoom Gelsenkirchen, dramatic scenes recently took place when three moose were medical care. The sight was initially painful because veterinarian Saskia Dreyer used intensive remedies such as an angle grinder, claw knife and claw grating to maintain the claws of the animals. These measures are necessary to prevent painful diseases. Fortunately, the moose Max, Moritz and Leo were well after the procedure and were able to quickly return to their familiar surroundings.

A visit to a veterinarian meant "full physical effort" here, according to the information on the zoo's Facebook page. Usually, the claws of wild rapids use the different surfaces well in their enclosures. However, if a claw is too long, long -term health consequences can have. This claw care is not only important to avoid pain, but also to ensure the general health of the animals.

Claw care and health check

The procedure required to put the three moose in anesthesia, which allowed the veterinarians to carry out a comprehensive health check at the same time. This is a common practice in dealing with wild animals such as elk, although the care of claws is more common for domestic arcades such as goats and sheep. The veterinarian explained that if they are not properly maintained, the claws can lead to unphysiological stress that affect the function and blood flow to the claws. This could cause serious health problems in the long run.

After the procedure, the moose showed up well and were able to quickly return to their enclosure. This initiative for claw care is part of the responsible animal husbandry in the zoo to ensure that the animals can lead a healthy and painless life. The high standards of care that are used in such medical interventions are essential for the well -being of the animals.

Visitors to the zoo are usually not witnesses of such medical measures. The Zoom Gelsenkirchen has therefore decided to set up a camera in the enclosure to provide insights into these important but often invisible aspects of animal care. This not only promotes understanding of the care of the animals, but also the awareness of the challenges with which veterinarians and nurses are confronted. Such events sharpen a look at the needs of these majestic animals.

Everyone involved who were in the zoo on this special day can breathe a sigh of relief - the measures have shown their effects and the moose are active and healthy again in their playground. A new insight into the often hidden, challenging world of animal care not only pleases the zoo visitors, but also shows the commitment of the zoo to take care of the well -being of the animals.
