As animals age, joints may stiffen, spine and muscles tighten, and mobility can become a painful ordeal. Animal care staff monitor their
charges carefully and work closely with veterinarians to ensure each animal receives the best possible treatment plan. Ailing elderly animals may benefit from a range of treatments, including anti-inflammatory and pain medication, acupuncture, and laser therapy. Deena Brenner, DVM, senior veterinarian at the Zoo, is highly trained in another wellness method: physical therapy, based on the Wolfe Kinetic Technique. Through gentle massage and micro-movements of the joints, she connects with her patients in a way that feels good to them and decreases stiffness and discomfort.
