Malik has been having trouble with his back right leg. It appears he may have a sprain or a possible ligament injury. Center veterinarian, Dr. Chip Hanson was on site on Thursday the 23rd to deliver the pups vaccinations and inspect Malik's leg. Malik was stared on a 7 day dose of anti-inflammatory, in hopes to relieve some of the pain he's experiencing. He hasn't been putting weight on his foot and hops on 3 legs when he runs. Dr. Hanson will be back on Thursday to reassess the course of treatment. The hope is that this is just a sprain and time will heal this injury. In the meantime, he's been a bit cranky with the puppies. He seems to travel the opposite direction of the puppies.
