The mainland giant panda " Tuantuan " that just celebrated its 18th birthday was suspected of having epilepsy in late August. Recently, after magnetic resonance (MRI) examination, it was found that there were local liquefaction and necrosis lesions in the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Taipei City Zoo held a press conference on the afternoon of September 23 to introduce the relevant situation and said that "Tuantuan"'s physical condition is still stable. First, give anti-epileptic drugs to treat, and then decide on further treatment plans after the subsequent examination results are released.
Taipei City Zoo said that if compared with human age, "Tuantuan" is currently about fifty or sixty years old. The park will closely observe its situation in the future and do its best to provide medical care. The
conservation team said that it has always maintained a professional communication channel with , a giant panda base in Sichuan Province, and has closely exchanged information in terms of medication, disease course and data analysis. The difficulty currently encountered is that giant pandas are rare animals and have accumulated less data. Experts from the team also said that it is not ruled out that mainland experts are invited to Taiwan for consultation in the future.
