FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A giraffe was euthanized Monday after his broken foot did not heal successfully and only got worse, Zoo Miami said.
Pongo, an 11-year-old male, had received laser therapy and custom shoes after suffering the fracture last year.
These treatments seemed at first to ease his pain and he began walking normally again, but a few weeks later his shoes fell off and he reinjured his foot, the zoo said.
