Black Bear cub #17-1180 update

Black Bear cub #17-1180 has been in the Large Mammal Isolation enclosure during the past week; the bear is eating well but the staff have continued to observe the intermittent neurologic issues. Some test results came back this week: the cub’s bile acids test (for liver issues) was within normal limits, and the cub is also negative for distemper and parvovirus. Test results for Baylisascaris have not yet come back.
