reported that the 18-year-old "Tuantuan" went to the Animal Hospital at the National Taiwan University for MRI on September 18 and found that there were local liquefaction and necrotic lesions in the left cerebral hemisphere and similar lesions in the right cerebral hemisphere. The veterinarian took cerebrospinal fluid for subsequent tests. The park held a press conference on the 23rd, explaining that the physical condition of "Tuantuan" is still stable, and the brain needs to wait for subsequent test results to further determine the treatment method. Currently, anti-epileptic drugs are given first.
reported that the park pointed out that if compared with human age, "Tuantuan" is currently about fifty or sixty years old, and it cannot be said that this disease has no risk of death. After all, it is in the process of lesions, and the park will closely observe its situation in the future.
