maya – May 6, 2005 12:00 AM

Maya had a complete medical exam today including a spay surgery. She was brought to the Ely Vet Clinic and was back on site within a few hours. She spent her first night in holding, but as I write this at 12:15 am on Saturday, she seems anxious to return to the pack, especially Shadow. Her stitiches will need a few days to heal without the influence of active pack life. Her weight on the Vet clinic electronic scale was 79.5 lbs. Maya's medical team included Peg Callahan from the Wildife Science Center, Jen Westlund, program specialist for the IWC, Kim Wheeler and Emily Rantala.
