  DCB–Actually, that's a little on the heavy side for a baby... giraffe, according to the Cleveland Zoo's Chief Veterinarian, Albert Lewandowski.Just a week old, the youngster already measures six feet, from the top of his head down to his cloven hooves.And those hooves also mean he is susceptible to Foot-and-Mouth disease - an ancient virus that recently ran through thousands of cattle in Great Britain and parts of Europe.
  
  An animal with foot-and-mouth develops blisters on the hoof and in the mouth.The blisters themselves aren't deadly, but very painful, prompting a loss of appetite and subsequent malnutrition..As Lewandowski walks us through the Zoo's barns, he notes that hoof-and-mouth poses no immediate threat to humans, but humans can be unwitting carriers of the disease.
  
  AL–We're more worried about travelers, people who have been overseas to Europe, to Great Britain, and down into South America, who may have been visiting areas where there are a lot of livestock.Because they can pick it up on their clothes,on their shoes, and people can carry it in their respiratory system for up to five days.With travel the way it is these days, where you can get to England in 6 to 8 hours, the possibility of bringing something that with you is possible.
  
  DCB–Ned Cunningham got a chance to see the devastation of foot-and-mouth up close.He's a veterinary specialist working for the Ohio Department of Agriculture and recently was part of a team of American medical officials who went over to help the British contain the outbreak.

  "We know which facilities are reputable, but that doesn't mean an animal will be accepted when the need arises," said Dr. Albert Lewandowski, Chief Veterinarian for Cleveland Metroparks Zoos and speaker at the Animal Welfare Forum.
  ...
  "Most zoos don't have the space for animals that need to be off exhibit, whether they are old, aggressive or ill," said Dr. Lewandowski.
  ...
  Physical separation, chemical birth control, vasectomies and castrations are other successful methods that can be used as "conscious efforts to prevent unwanted breeding," said Dr. Lewandowski.
  ...
  Dr. Lewandowski acknowledges that euthanasia is rarely an easy decision, but rather a necessity in zoo life."We can't make decisions based largely on emotion.We need to triage each case and determine whether euthanasia is part of responsible animal management, " he said.
