Health Challenge and Recovery
Fulai’s journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing. On January 5, 2018, she began showing signs of distress, with frequent tail-raising and a lack of appetite. The diagnosis came quickly: an intestinal obstruction. Despite receiving five days of conservative treatment, the obstruction persisted, leading to the decision for surgery. On January 10, Fulai underwent a successful operation to remove the blockage. Thanks to the devoted care from the medical team at the Chengdu Research Base, Fulai made a steady recovery and returned to her playful self, healthier than ever.
