Abstract：Through clinical symptom observation,blood routine and biochemical tests,and fecal parasitological examination,a case of suspected bulimia in a red panda(Ailurus fulgens)was investigated and retrospectively analyzed using dialectical treatment.In mid-May 2024,a red panda exhibited clinical symptoms such as irritability,marked anorexia,and progressive emaciation.The blood routine and biochemical tests showed that the blood glucose(GLU)and urea(UREA)were significantly higher than the normal reference values.Based on the comprehensive analysis of various tests,it was concluded that the patient had bulimia nervosa.Traditional Chinese medicine treatment was adopted,and the syndrome was diagnosed as excessive heart fire and stomach fire,insufficient kidney yin,and disharmony between heart and kidney.The prescription selected was modified Huanglian Ejiao Jizi Decoction,which cleared the heart fire and nourished the kidney yin.After about 20 days of treatment,the red panda showed normal feeding and activity,and its body condition gradually recovered.
