Cora Singleton, an associate veterinarian, explained that after Nick underwent several additional tests, cardiologists suggested he be given a pacemaker.
Cardiologist Joao Orvalho said that Nick's heartbeats were too slow and "the pacemaker is actually going to take over his heart and is going to determine when to pace fast or slow depending on his activity."
The surgery was successful, and according to Katie Tomlinson, senior keeper at the San Diego Zoo, Nick is very active and has returned to his old self.
