Regarding panda young
The panda baby suckled by a cat has regrettably died.
He was diagnosed to have choked on milk..... I know, it sounds weird, but that was the explanation.. |

I have just posted about this in Nanny's thread. I wonder if nursing on a cat had its risks? Maybe panda milk doesn't flow as easily as cat milk, so the panda sucks harder than a kitten would, and as a result, he got a lot more milk into his mouth at once than he would've if he'd been suckling on his own mom? Just a wild guess, I really have no idea. Maybe a panda mother knows certain dangers to watch for with baby pandas that a cat mother wouldn't need to be aware of? Not that I think they made a mistake in giving him to the mother cat. Obviously, it was the best situation available for the panda bitty, who didn't have a lot of options. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Just a wild guess, I really have no idea. Well, it's a logical idea, Joyce, but even excess milk should not go into the There is normally no connection at all between the "food pipe" and the "wind pipe" Unless milk is forced down too quickly which will not happen if he is suckling. I suspect human error here, unless as I said there is a hole in his oesphagus which lines up with a hole in his trachea. I have reared some orphaned babes myself, years ago. None of them got milk in their trachea, and all lived to adulthood, which is how I know that a mistake has been made here. Tweed |

M y dad tried to hand rear some orphaned rabbits and unfortunately did manage to choke one of them on milk- he thought the rabbit opening its mouth was a sign that it was still hungry so he kept giving it the bottle and it wasn't until milk started bubbling out of its nostrils that he realised the poor thing was drowning. The rabbit may have had some sort of congenital problem through as one of the litter had anecelphaly (stillborn) and one of the other two seemed to have real problems feeding through survived- the other one was just fine Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
