MacKenzie had a bit of a relapse on Christmas eve day as we were weaning her off her medication. It now appears that she may need a maintenance dose of medication to maintain mobility and control pain. The hopes were that her body could do some healing while on medication, and that we would see improvement without the anti-inflammatory. It now appears the spinal problems may be more complex. She improves quickly with the increase in medication and we will be working to find the right minimum dose to keep her comfortable. In this week's video, you will see her comfortably eating a beaver, chewing the tail off and taking it to her bed (beaver tails are high in fat, and a real treat for wolves).
