Last week, the Wildlife Center team was able to take Black Bear cub #17-1180 off-site for a CT scan. The procedure went quickly, and the images were sent to veterinary radiologists for interpretation. The radiologists found that while the brain and spine appeared to be within normal limits, the cub’s lungs were not normal. There are a variety of infectious diseases that could affect a cub’s lungs and also cause neurologic symptoms, though at this point, the damage is irreversible.
