Treatment and Autopsy: Given the elephant’s recumbent position and the location of the wound on its back, immobilization was deemed unnecessary. The wound was thoroughly cleansed, and antimicrobial agents were applied, followed by a layer of green clay. Systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication were administered by the veterinary team. Despite multiple efforts to аѕѕіѕt the elephant in regaining its upright position, they were ᴜпfoгtᴜпаteɩу unsuccessful.
