Meet Mohan, a rhino whose feet would not stop bleeding. And Patch, a hobby falcon who broke his wishbone. Not to mention Alfredito the hippo, who suffered from toothache for weeks because he was too large to be sedated safely. All these animals owe their lives to the dedicated & pioneering zoo vets who cared for them.
