Hohenwald, TN (WFN) -- An elephant at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tenn., is feeling footloose and fancy free thanks to a lot of apple cider vinegar. Tina, a 34-year-old, four-ton elephant, came to the sanctuary last August with a foot condition called osteomyelitis -- an infection that was eating away at the flesh and bone of her feet. Sanctuary founder Carol Buckley says her handlers recently learned that the infection could be cured with apple cider vinegar -- a technique recommended by a local vet. Stepping in to help the treatment, the makers of White House Apple Cider Vinegar supplied the Sanctuary with 4,000 gallons -- a year's supply of vinegar. Buckley says Tina's infection has disappeared but she continues to stand in her foot soak twice a day for 20 minutes because even though the signs of the infection are gone, it's a long-term treatment.
