All donations to Pandas International are tax deductible in accordance with the IRS.

With the support of our members, Pandas International has been able to provide a wide variety of medical equipment and supplies to the Panda Reserves including:
• Laptop computers and digital cameras for research and communication
• Two VetScan Blood Chemistry Analyzers and on going supplies. The VetScan provides the veterinarians at Wolong and Bifengxia the ability to perform multi blood chemistry tests in the hospital where previously it was necessary to sent blood to a lab 3 hours away, making the results questionable and delaying diagnosis of sick animals.
• Ground scales to weigh the pandas, to monitor the newborns weight in the nursery, to evaluate the health of wild pandas brought in for medical care, to determine the proper amount of medicine in the hospital and to monitor the weight of pandas participating in the reintroduction program.
• Four state of the art incubators for the breeding program
• Tranquilizers and Immobilization deliver devise and Air-piped anesthesia device
• Basic Hospital supplies including- surgical tape, syringes, worming paste, etc.
• Veterinary medications for the hospital
• Reagents and urinary hormones for the breeding program
• Adoption of numerous pandas at the center with the funds going to provide for their care
Even with all we have provided, there is still so much to do! We hope to meet these needs as quickly as possible with YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
