Towards the end of June, the Mara mobile Vet Unit was informed by The Narok District Game Warden of a bull elephant that was injured and required the attention of our unit. We set out for the drive from Masai Mara to the Ol Donyo Rasha Hills, some 50 Miles where he had been seen last.We arrived at the spot in the afternoon and started searching for this particular bull and fortunately late in the afternoon we were lucky to find him. He was walking with a heavy limp and closer examination revealed a very swollen front right foot with pus oozing from an injury on the joint just above the toes. The Vet successfully darted him and he went down fifteen minutes later. Further examination revealed a deep wound inflicted by a very sharp object which we suspected was poisoned thus causing severe gangrenous swelling of the whole foot of this bull.
