You might see our elderly Asian elephant, Methai sporting a new look in the yard! She's been fitted with kinesio tape by Dr. Marziani, one of our consulting vet...erinarians who specializes in rehabilitation therapy, chiropractic, and other non-invasive therapeutics in animals. The kinesio tape is an elastic sports tape designed to relieve pain while supporting muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Since Methai is getting up there in age (she's 51!) she's starting to show signs of arthritis and stiffness. Our animal care professionals work hard to ensure every animal at the Zoo receives the best care possible! See more

A reminder on this #SuperbOwl Sunday of the importance of a proper curvature in the cervical spine. While owls have many more bones in their necks, they also have two cervical curves, allowing them to turn their heads almost all the way around. Humans only have one curve in their necks which means we have about 180 degrees rotation side to side. As we get older, injury and use such as chronically looking down at your cell phone or long hours sitting at the computer can cause ...this curve to straighten out increasing the risk of injury. Additionally this decreases the necks ability to effectively support the head with the potential to lead to pain or arthritis forming in the neck. While we can't get the full 270 degree rotation owls have, by maintaining our one cervical curve with proper stretching, exercises and Chiropractic care we can help to keep that neck moving more like a Superb Owl!

I recommend that you take a daily supplement of D3 unless you know that your levels are in the 65 ng/ml range. It can't hurt and it might help..... https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/937567

"A healthy outside starts from the inside." - Robert Urich https://goto.sc/1BZW

On this date in 1809, the greatest explorer in American history died along the Natchez Trace near Nashville Tennessee as he was traveling to Washington Merriweather Lewis was the Governor of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory but had a difficult time adjusting to life in civilization after successfully traversing the continent in an epic voyage which took over 2 years to complete. Along the way, he medicated himself and his party with herbs and natural remedies, but also ...with Rush's Billious Pills, a mercury chloride and plant root concoction, and various opium preparations such as Laudanum. At the time of his death, he was reportedly depressed, drinking heavily and possibly psychotic from the drugs he was taking daily. During the night, he apparently shot himself but did not immediately die. He was discovered gravely wounded and was reportedly cutting himself with a razor. He passed in the early morning. After the Civil War, thousands of veterans suffered from "Soldiers Disease" caused by the widespread application of opiates during and after the war. Historians differ on the number of addicts from the Civil War but agree that addiction soared from 1865 to 1895. We think of our opioid issues as a recent issue and it certainly has penetrated all aspects of our society but it is an old problem and we need to solve this scourge through the ages.
