Campaign idea: Jodie beat cancer in her jaw

When cancer invaded Jodie's jawbone, vets adapted a human treatment to save the 15-foot python.

This story

Keepers noticed Jodie, a 15-foot reticulated python, was eating less and growing inactive after a malignant jaw tumour returned. Vets removed part of her diseased jawbone and administered electrochemotherapy to target any remaining cancer cells. Jodie has made a full recovery, remaining cancer-free and able to hunt, eat and explore normally.

What your brand could do

Provide the kit to document Jodie at Chester Zoo. Supply care equipment for the keepers looking after her.
