2026. Serious foot abscess on an amazing elephant.

It's going to feel good, baby, okay? It's going to feel good. It probably doesn't feel very good. Good, sweetheart. Start on the outside. You've got to keep it up there, babe. That's a good girl. Very nice girl. It's all hard. She's okay so far. Usually it's softer and I wouldn't cut so much, but... Good girl. There you go. Come on, honey. Keep it up there. Come on, sweetheart. Let me do it, baby, okay? Let me fix it for you. Come on. Let me see. Good girl. Let me see. Good girl. Come on. Thank you. When I put the back side of the knife on it, it pushes on that abscess a little bit, so I think it hurts her. I shouldn't have did that at the beginning. I should have waited, but... Come on, honey. It's okay, sweetheart. Let me do it, baby. Honey, I've got to help. I've got to fix this, okay? Let me do it. Good girl. There you go. Good. Honey. She's hurting, so... Good girl, honey. So, basically, I'm trying to get... The abscess is here. I'm trying to get to the edge of it. I want to get it out. Make it come out. It's just under pressure right now. Yeah, of course. Of course it hurts. Yeah, yeah. But every time I do this, I push on the abscess, right? So, I'm just trying to find the edge of it right now. I'll work with her. It's my mistake for trying to... I'm just taking what she'll give me right now. I want to get lower, but there's a pocket right here as well. This will all fill in later today. So, tomorrow we'll see it'll come out more. But I need to make it come out. Or help it come out. Good, honey. It's okay. Good girl. Good, baby. Good, honey. Good girl. Yeah. Very nice. You see what I'm doing? I'm trying to get to the edge of the nail, not so much even the abscess. Good girl. Yeah. The mushroom coming out of this hole is a flap of skin right there. I want to try to remove it. It's okay. We work together. If she wants to take it down, that's fine. I just don't want to push her because she's hurting, right? So... It's okay, sweetheart. You're being so good. I'm going to cut this off right there. I'm going to cut this flap off right there. This flap. You see how it's getting pinched off? Can you see? So, the idea is to open that edge. And then... It's just under so much pressure right now. And if we... Yeah. Can we try to soak it today? Good, honey. Oh, this is perfect. Good, baby. Good girl. Yeah, good girl. Good girl. I want this flap of skin right... I want this piece right there. Good, honey. Very good. Can I cut this off a little bit? Let's clean it up some and see what we got. You're so nice, honey. Thank you for being a good girl, huh? Thank you. Let me do a little bit of this. Okay, good girl. See this flap of nail? I'm going to try to remove that. Good girl, honey. You're being so good. How are those cookies? Are those cookies delicious? Yeah. Okay. Good. It's okay. There we go. Ooh, the cookies. Yeah, you just want to keep her guessing. Different foods, different things like that. Kind of distract her from what I'm doing. And sometimes I can do like this and scratch her foot and just do different things. It hurts, honey baby. Good girl. Thank you. You're being a sweet girl. You're very sweet. Thank you. Good girl. Very sweet girl. I'm just shaving this off so I can see what's going on. Good, honey. Good girl. Thank you for being a good girl. I know it hurts, honey. See, if she had dirt, she could go and like debride it and kick at it. But now she can't do anything. So, that's my good girl. That's my good girl. That's a good girl. It's okay. Let's try to soak it at some point today, yeah? Can we? Oh. Super. Good girl, honey. Good girl. I'm just trying to cut off whatever I can cut off now. I still want to do more, but this is our first session. Soaking would really help because we can almost soak it. Good girl. You can do it. A little bit of blood right there. Don't want that. Sorry, honey. Good girl. That's my good girl. Very brave. Oh. Oh, oh. Come on, let me see. Actually, let me grab this one. Grab the razor blade here. Come on, sweetheart. You can do it. I need you just to keep it still for 30 seconds, honey. That's all I need. Good, babe. Yeah. I just want to open this up right here. Let me do this, honey. Come on, let me do this. Damn it. That's a good girl. Good, honey. Let me see. Thank you. Good. She might be done for now, but... Come on, honey. Let me try. Can I do one... A little bit more? Or are you done? You're trying so hard. Good girl. She's not letting me do anything now.
