Taipei Zoo

Taipei Zoo's giant panda "Yuan Bao" underwent a health check-up before the Lunar New Year. This follow-up was arranged to ensure "Yuan Bao’s" continued health and to address abnormal indicators found during last year's health examination. The check-up was carried out by a team of professionals from the zoo’s care staff, the College of Veterinary Medicine at National Taiwan University, the College of Veterinary Medicine at National Chung Hsing University, the Anesthesiology and Dentistry departments at NTU Hospital, and Enya Veterinary Dentistry.

The check-up included physical exams, blood tests, dental checks, eye exams, as well as imaging techniques such as ultrasound, endoscopy, and CT scans to assess Yuan Bao’s heart, abdomen, and upper digestive tract. The results showed that most of the indicators were normal. Although “Yuan Bao” inherited her mother, "Yuan Yuan's" enamel hypoplasia. Her dental condition remains stable due to regular care. Additionally, a previously discovered esophageal ulcer has improved. Overall, her health is in good condition.

Thanks to the dedicated care of the professional medical team and zookeepers, "Yuan Bao" remains in good health and is ready to continue sharing joyful moments with everyone in the new year.
