Bruna- 1.5 yr old Panther, died on Tuesday. 
The vet said she was impacted with a material that looked like coconut fiber that was throughout her GI track, and that the walls of her intestines were thickened. She thought some possible answers were parasites, a viral infection or a tumor. I could only bring myself to listen to the message- so I have not called her back with questions...But - has anyone heard of this problem before?
I absolutely did not have coconut fiber in her cage so I am at a loss!
Any thoughts?
I eventially want to get another panther, so I am trying to avoid any mistakes I may have made with her.
Thanks
