As a kid ,The City Zoo,Veermata Jijabai Udyaan,Byculla always had a special place in my heart. I would like to share my experience about treating a White Peacock .
This april he had developed a condition which rendered him paralyzed by his right side, in addition to the existing foot issue. He lost his proprioception and was rapidly loosing sensation in his feet and had a drooped wing. As a result he fluttered and tried to get up, but could not. Soon he ended up having wounds on the underside of the wings. He received immediate attention from the Zoo hospital with daily medical monitoring. The next challenge was of rehabilitating him, as soon the wound used to get better, his constant fluttering resulted in him developing ulcerative wounds.

We chalked out an Integrative Approach , the Zoo Hospital started him on the necessary medical therapy and i was assigned the work to rehabilitate him. He received 4 Acupuncture sessions and by the end of 2 sessions, he was able to stand after assisted lifting and did not fall after that, so thus it helped in healing of his ulcerative wound. Post 4 sessions he regained all his neurological deficits and was able to walk a few steps.

The White Peacock also featured in Hindustan Times dated 17th June,2012 , with reference to Veterinary Acupuncture practice in Mumbai.
