Abstract

A captive-born three month-old baby elephant weighing about 100kg at Jenabil Elephant Camp developed multiple wounds at its navel region, left knee joint, area below left ear and sternal region. It was treated with povidone-iodine (Betadine) lotion and a course of parenteral strepto-penicillin (Bistrapen). The wounds healed in a month, with development of two fluctuating swellings one at right stifle joint and other at left carpal joint. The elephant calf was limping in the affected limbs. It was decided to explore the swellings surgically to drain the contents under sedation.
