According to Taipei Zoo , the mainland donated Taiwanese giant panda " Tuantuan " stopped heartbeat at 1:48 pm on November 19.
"Tuantuan" Epilepsy occurred again in the early morning of this morning. After the administration, the symptoms of the attack continued to occur intermittently. The condition was irreversible based on physiological indexes and other analysis. It was decided to let "Tuantuan" sleep in anesthesia and not continue to suffer.
Zoo released a press release saying that "Tuantuan" had epilepsy again at 1:5, 56 and 3:54 am. Although the medical care team gave anti-epileptic drugs, the symptoms of the seizure continued to occur intermittently. After the veterinarian strengthened anti-epileptic and sedative drugs several times, the symptoms of epilepsy were not temporarily stopped until 7:3 am.
"Tuantuan" suffered four sudden epilepsy on the 17th. The Taipei Zoo medical team gave anti-epileptic drugs in real time to relieve the symptoms.
html At a press conference held on the afternoon of the 119th, the Taipei Zoo stated that it had hoped to use anti-epileptic drugs to restore its living ability, but finally, after testing, it was judged that the physiological indicators of "Tuantuan" were irreversible. If it is anesthetized and then awakened, "Tuantuan" may have great risks and pains. It was finally decided to make it sleep during anesthesia, and at 1:48 pm on the same day, the heartbeat of "Tuantuan" was stopped.
Zoo said that the reason why the choice was to let "tuantuan" sleep in anesthesia was because it found that its epilepsy seizures frequency became relatively high and the medication was not well controlled. According to the examination, the number of red blood cells has become relatively small, and the symptoms of anemia have occurred. Some indicators of liver function have soared after taking the medication. "Because it cannot eat normally, the amount of muscle in the body is also consumed. When it is barely awakened from anti-epileptic drugs or mild sedatives in time, it cannot use muscles evenly." Cao Xianshao, spokesman of Taipei Zoo, said that will conduct pathological analysis of "tuantuan" in the future to confirm whether it is a hereditary disease , so that you can pay attention to the health of its children "Yuanbao" and " Yuanzai " in advance.
Cao Xianshao said that will retain the body of "tuantuan" with fur specimens and bone specimens, and will also retain living cells . The fur specimens will continue to stay in the Taipei Zoo.
Former Zoo Director Ye Jiesheng said that "Tuantuan" life brings many people good memories . I hope that after "Tuantuan" leaves, he can still use the body as a specimen to continue the meaning of life education.
