shoot with hatches and doors so betsey and the giraffe keepers can access her without getting hurt. to better reach mosie betsey uses a metal device to loosen up the animal's muscles and joints. betsey carpenter/chiropractor- '"im using a lot of force inward, but it does look like combing. you can't see the amount of pressure that i'm actually using. i'm using as much as she'll tolerate and as much as i can provide." the sessions can last anywhere from five to 15 minutes... and, when the work is done... mosi can walk on stage for zoo guests to enjoy in the exhibit...jessica real/giraffe keeper- "it makes our giraffe more comfortable and that is gonna provide a healthier, longer life. we really try to avoid using medication as long as we can, if we can handle her pain and ailments any other way, than that's definitely our first choice." giraffe's don't get the same level of exercise in captivity as they would in the wild. so, betsey says managing soreness through a chiropractor helps...betsey carpenter/chiropractor- "i'm so blessed that i get the opportunity to be here and do this. i feel incredibly
