& shy; The doctor examined the 9-month-old Siberian tiger. & shy; A 9-month-old baby tiger in Fuzhou Zoo was ill. Yesterday, a doctor from the orthopedic hospital came to take a physical examination for him. Will baby tiger cooperate with the first film shooting? Will there be a stress reaction? & shy; “Whoops!” At 9:30 yesterday morning, when a “big cat” was carried to the doctor by four keepers, it shouted reluctantly. The breeder put it on a large iron plate under an X-ray machine. Some of the four keepers pressed their backs, some grabbed their legs, and some touch one’s head. & shy; Soon, The Little Tiger who did not inject anesthetic quieted down and obediently cooperated with the doctors to take X-rays of the head, throat and abdomen. & shy; This is a small Siberian tiger, whose mother is brought up by human beings. It is now 9 months old and 40 kilograms. It has been two weeks since I was ill. & shy; According to the introduction of veterinarian Xiao-Li Chen, on March this year, the breeder found that the little tiger didn’t like to eat much and didn’t like to move much, and his spirit was poor. The doctor gave it taking temperature and collected blood for testing. The body temperature is not too high, and the blood sampling test shows “moderate acid”, which is the reaction of metabolism in animals. & shy; Last week, the doctor gave it another laryngoscope examination and found throat edema and ulcer, but it did not improve much after treatment. The Little Tiger has been shaking these days. In this way, The Little Tiger’s condition was repeated, and after two days of treatment, it broke out again. & shy; According to the doctor, yesterday’s shooting was to confirm whether it was stuck in the throat by eating chicken skeleton and whether there was brain damage. & shy; “The reason why tigers are shot without anesthesia is to avoid secondary damage. Anesthesia is risky for animals.” Veterinarian Xiao-Li Chen said. & shy; Doctor Jiang Guohua from orthopedic hospital told reporters that this was the first time they made a film for a tiger. X-ray machine is used by the bedside for filming, which is specially equipped for patients with bone injuries with limited mobility. This new equipment is also used on Tigers for the first time. They were not sure in advance, but for the health of the tiger baby, they still made films for free. & shy; “We suspect that the esophagus is stuck, or there may be foreign bodies in the stomach. Shooting tigers is different from people. One is that animals and human bodies have different structures, and the other is that tigers are afraid of hurting people.” Jiang Guohua said. & shy; Yesterday, the film of The Little Tiger had been washed out, but due to the differences between animals and people, the results of the film need to be discussed with relevant experts before formulating a treatment plan for the little tiger.
