Tian Tian & Yang Guang back on show
Over the past two weeks, Edinburgh Zoo’s Pandas were having some discomfort. Yang Guang had an episode of colic on January 14 and Tian Tian wasn’t feeling well this weekend.
We are very happy to hear both pandas are doing fine now!
Romain Pizzi, Veterinary Surgeon at Edinburgh Zoo wrote the following:
I am delighted to advise that both Tian Tian and Yang Guang are back on show today.
Tian Tian is much brighter after having been a little under the weather this weekend and both I and panda keeper Alison Maclean are happy with her. Yang Guang has been recovering steadily from his bout of colic and we are hopeful he will venture out later this afternoon.
As previously advised, colic is not uncommon in giant pandas and is not a great cause for concern. Pandas have sensitive digestive systems and it is likely Tian Tian and Yang Guang are simply adapting to eating slightly different bamboo. All normal and to be expected.
