Now that Yang Guang is doing better after his episode of colic, it looks like Tian Tian has the same… Here is an update by Edinburgh Zoo about Tian Tian’s condition:

Tian Tian our female giant panda has been under the weather this morning. One of our vets has been to visit her and suspects she has a bit of colic, similar to Yang Guang but much milder. She is being allowed time to relax privately away from public view today and probably tomorrow also. Yang Guang is expected to go back on public view on Monday. so unfortunately there is no Panda viewing today.

We understand some visitors will be disappointed, however the welfare of our giant pandas has to be a priority. All visitors with panda tickets for today (29/1/12) have been fully refunded, welcomed into the Zoo for free and invited to rebook for a suitable future date.
