Malik continues to receive antibiotics for the tooth abscess, and if there is no noticeable improvement, a short chemical immobilization, a trip to the vet and a tooth extraction may be in his future. Lakota, one of our former retired pack, actually had two abscesses in her later years, both healed with a good dose of antibiotics, so there is hope for Malik. Regardless of how it looks, it has no impact on his eating, activity or breath. If it wasn't for the swelling and discoloration, you wouldn't even know he had an issue. Wolves are incredibly resilient.
