A case of epilepsy on giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) was retrospectively analyzed by clinical symptoms, CT scan, blood routine and biochemical analysis, histopathological examination and stress physiology analysis. Results showed that the white blood cell (WBC) and lymphocyte (Lym) counts exceeded normal levels, while the red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT) were lower than normal levels from the second day after the seizure and coma. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and sodium (Na+ ) during coma, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) on day 5 after coma were significantly higher than normal levels. In addition, diffuse cerebral edema, white matter hyperplasia and necrotic cavities were showed on the brain tissue via histopathological examination. But CT scan of brain parenchyma did not show abnormal density shadow. Moreover, there were significant differences in fecal cortisol mass fraction before [ (282. 4 ± 207. 3) ng/g] and after epileptic seizure [ (320 7. 7 ± 994. 2) ng/g, Z = -3. 000, P = 0. 003], and salivary cortisol concentrations were significantly higher than these of the control group (P < 0. 05) . Through various analyses of medical diagnosis and stress physiology, we speculated that the panda was stimulated by noise which triggered the body to produce acute stress and lead to an overloaded allostatic load and finally led to seizure. Thus prevention should be given priority in daily feeding management. It is necessary to maintain a stable and quiet living environment, to reduce or avoid the stimulation of stressors as much as possible, so that the quality of life of animals can be improved.
