How do you treat neck pain for a Komodo dragon?

For veterinarians at the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society some acupuncture seemed to do the trick. The zoo brought in a veterinary acupuncturist to treat Hannah, a 19-year-old female Komodo dragon. Hannah recently has been experiencing neck pain, a zoo spokeswoman said.

So, in addition to regular medication, the acupuncturist was brought in to treat the area near the base of Hannah’s skull. After receiving the acupuncture treatment, Hannah seemed to experience almost immediate relief, zoo officials said.

“She seemed to get very active and very interested in heading back to her sunny spot after the acupuncture,” said Dr. Genevieve Dumonceaux, the zoo’s lead veterinarian. “She actually seemed to perk up quite a bit while it was going on, and then as (the acupuncturist) was placing the last few needles.”

Vet staff left the needles in for thirty more minutes after the initial application, and then monitored Hannah after the needles were removed.
