shadow – May 22, 2012 12:00 AM

Shadow had the longest impact of a sedative given on the night of the fire. His eyes were still droopy the next day, and he was stumbling a bit. We don't do oral sedatives very often, but we now know that the dose given was effective, but too high for the length of duration. One thing about Shadow when he's feeling a bit sedated, he gets very social. We were able to do a lot of brushing his undercoat on that day, and that is helpful to a wolf who has issues with heat.
