Thanks to the helping hands of UTIA, UTCVM, UTHSC and the Knoxville Zoo, Lu bounced back to his normal, bubbly self.

A tumor located on Lu’s spinal cord interfered with his brain activity. When his zookeepers noticed, they immediately found a solution to help him.

“These animals are not just animals; they are our friends and family, and we care for them like they are us,” says zookeeper Crystal Mugan. “We were nervous and anxious and wanting the best for him because he is one of the best animals that we have.”

Important information from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture regarding animal import requirements.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture has issued temporary animal import requirements following a recent detection of New World screwworm in Texas.

There is currently no indication of an outbreak in Tennessee. This proactive order focuses on education, early detection and prevention to help protect animal health.

New World screwworm is a parasitic fly that can affect warm-blooded animals, especially through open wounds. Animal owners, producers, veterinarians and transporters are encouraged to monitor animals closely, especially wounds and areas around the nose, ears, eyes, mouth and genitalia.

Watch for drainage, discharge, bleeding, swelling, discomfort, lethargy, isolation or unusual odors.

Suspected cases must be reported to the Tennessee State Veterinarian’s Office within 24 hours at 615-837-5120 or [email protected].
