Snow Leopard Cub Update - Toronto Zoo

Even snow leopards sometimes have specialist appointments 🩺 The firstborn, and the larger of the two cubs, appeared to have challenges with her gait and putting weight on her front paws. With guidance from an external rehabilitation veterinarian, the team began physiotherapy exercises for her front paws twice a day to improve the flexibility in her paws and joints. Over the course of three visits from the rehabilitation vet, these exercises were expanded as her condition began to improve. Thanks to these dedicated efforts, she has made tremendous progress, and you can see a noticeable difference in her mobility! She always maintained a fighting spirit and her gait never held her back from climbing and moving around. She continues to be active and playful, interacting more confidently with her enrichment and her sister. Watch the video to learn more about her journey and recovery ❄️ #snowballs
