Luna arrives at the Wildlife SOS elephant hospital.
To best serve its patients, the hospital has wireless digital radiology, ultrasound, laser therapy, an in-house pathology lab, and a medical hoist for comfortably lifting disabled elephants and moving them around the treatment area. For regular check-ups as well as specialty treatments, there is also a jumbo-sized digital weight scale, laboratory testing capabilities, and a hydrotherapy pool.
The Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital also has portable X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, and specialized foot-care tools. The hospital is even equipped with special areas with infrared cameras for veterinarians to observe elephant patients that need overnight care.

Holly gets medical treatment at the Wildlife SOS elephant hospital.
One of the hospital’s current patients is an adorable female elephant named Holly. She is a former street riding elephant who was confiscated from a private owner. Holly is completely blind in both eyes, and when she was rescued her body was covered with chronic untreated abscesses. She also has arthritis in her back legs due to malnutrition.
Holly is finally getting the medical care that she needs at the hospital. The veterinary team is treating her arthritis with cold laser therapy, and she is also receiving therapeutic ultrasonography. The veterinarians tend to her abscessed wounds daily so they can heal completely. Holly is getting the proper nutrition with lots of fruits to eat, and her favorites are bananas and papayas!

Holly receives medical care at the wildlife SOS elephant hospital.
After so many years of neglect, Luna also suffers from chronic ailments such as inflammation and arthritis due to malnutrition. When she first arrived at the hospital, she also had several untreated wounds on her body. Now, she gets regular treatments with special antibiotic ointments to prevent infection.
It is so heartwarming to see these rescued elephants are in such caring hands at the Wildlife SOS elephant hospital. These precious animals have been through so much in their lives. Now, at this specialized medical center, they can finally receive the proper treatment and rehabilitation along with a lifetime of love and care.
Wonderful to hear of the great work being done by Wildlife SOS. Many thanks.
Wonderful, thanks!
Thank you so much, Wildlife SOS, for doing this work!
Anjos salvando anjos, obg.
I am happy Holly and Luna and all the other elephants will have this nice elephant hospital.
This hospital was actually opened in November last year not few weeks ago. The opening of Elephant Hospital in this country highlight the needs for it, the most nasty cruelty cases u can see are happening in India on daily basis.
the info about Luna is out of date, Luna was rescued 2 months ago in a very poor state and at this moment is unable to stand, lying on cheap of sand to support her.
THANK YOU to the wonderful group, WILDLIFE SOS — THANK YOU to the wonderful Rescuers & STAFF who love & care for these sweet Elephants — CRIMES such as these, against Elephants, MUST NOT continue — keep up your great work — keep rescuing these magnificent animals — without you, their sorry lives are filled with misery, WHICH, by the way, MUST NOT continue.
Good Work!
Thank you WildlifeSOS for rescuing these precious elephants! I hope they both make a full recovery!
Wildlife SOS is one of the world’s most amazing rescues. I so respect what they are doing for this amazing species that is so mistreated and used for ‘entertainment’ for human beings. It is NOT entertainment to see another being suffer every day of their lives.
Awesome! That’s heartwarming and inspiring. The elephants will certain be thankful and LOVE you.
Awesome! Very heartwarming and inspiring. Well Done! Be sure the elephants are thankful and they love you!
Sending big hugs and kisses to both Holly and Luna!! You are absolutely adorable!!
Wildlife SOS- thank you! The elephant hospital is is nothing short of a miracle. Now, these precious animals can get the medical help they so desperately need.
Thanku to those who are tending to these beautiful elephants. God bless them 🐘🐘
Belle initiative!
This is a wonderful story, but it’s kind of sad that there even needs to be a hospital for rescued elephants. If they weren’t so abused in captivity there wouldn’t even be a need for a special hospital. Elephants belong in the wild, they are mistreated in captivity. Hopefully the ones that were rescued from cruel owners can finally recover.
I’m so glad to hear about this! I’m sure many of the elephants are going to much happier and feeling less pain very soon. God Bless all involved!
I am so pleased that India is doing this to help these elephant’s.
