This morning, Thursday October 6, a team of veterinarians and animal care staff performed an exploratory exam on giant panda Gao Gao. The male panda has been experiencing some abdominal discomfort from an unknown source. Today’s exam served as an early detection mechanism allowing the medical team at the San Diego Zoo to rule out some health concerns. Veterinarians will continue to observe Gao Gao. He will have a shaved patch on his abdomen that may be visible until the hair grows back.
