The work of a Thailand hospital devoted solely to treating elephants. The two-part documentary reveals the day-to-day challenges of dealing with supersized patients suffering everything from deadly viruses to cuts and parasites. It also shows how the facility teaches baby elephants new commands and even turns elephant poo into fertiliser.
Episodes include…
1. Caring for the Elephants
In Thailand, Dr. Paul O'Donoghue joins elephant experts at a unique hospital caring for nature's gentle giants. Minnie, a two-year-old baby, arrives with a suspected deadly virus, and a large bull elephant gets state-of-the-art care for kidney disease.
2. Colic for Elephants
During a late-night emergency, three sickly female elephants are admitted with colic. One mama brings along her young calf as she receives treatment, and the vets use cutting-edge equipment to help nurse the gentle giants back to health.
