00:00Today, Red Eye's vet, Dr. Gunn, takes blood from behind his ear.

00:07It's the thinnest area of skin on an elephant to find a vein.

00:11What are you testing for?

00:13In the chronic kidney disease, we will correct the electrolyte in the back.

00:18Electrolyte, okay.

00:19Yeah, because he got the dehydration.

00:22Yeah, okay, okay.

00:23We will put the fluid in.

00:25So you're keeping his electrolytes in balance in his body and restoring his fitness?

00:30Yes, yes.

00:31Okay, excellent.

00:34Elephant kidney disease is a really serious issue.

00:37It causes the build-up of toxins in the body and it causes extreme dehydration.

00:41That causes the animal to be lethargic and become debilitated.

00:45And if it's not treated, that animal will die.

00:49Next, at the nurse's station, Red Eye's blood will be analysed using the latest technology.

00:55What are you testing for?

00:59This machine will detect potassium in the butt and sodium in the butt.

01:03Salt levels?

01:04Yeah.

01:05Okay, yeah.

01:06So this is real adaptive management, isn't it?

01:07You change his treatment on a day-by-day basis to suit his physiology.

01:10Based on the result.

01:11That's very clever.

01:12That's brilliant.

01:13So now we found the result of him is now the potassium level is high.

01:21Yeah?

01:22High than normal.

01:23And the sodium is lower than normal.

01:25A little bit, yes.

01:26Okay.

01:27Based on the immediate feedback of the results, Red Eye is placed on a drip for rehydration

01:34and to balance the salt levels in his blood.

01:37It's not a quick fix, but in Red Eye's case, everything in life moves at a slower pace.

01:43Yep.

01:44But too.

01:45To see the Iron and Death and Larry screen, second time ago, reg muted.
