Naim's husbandry training, stress-free health check
Yesterday, I was able to watch Naim undergoing husbandry training.
I'm uploading the video here, even though the footage is a bit unclear.
While he eats meat, his body is checked via palpation. His heartbeat is monitored with a stethoscope. He practices for procedures like injections and blood draws.
Then, he undergoes palpation again. Because of his advanced age, he receives thorough check-ups.
The veterinarians and keepers at Ueno Zoo take excellent care of the Pallas's cats; I trust them completely😊

How patient and calm he is 😊 Wishing the kitty good health 🙏
More patient than I am at checkups some times. Go Naim!
Wonderful to see Naim getting such attentive care! May he continue to enjoy strong health and caring keepers in his golden years! 💚
That's amazing, that he lets himself be handled like that. He didn't seem bothered at all.
