Winter is Here

Sorry for the delay in logs, time is slipping by as we are getting ready for winter (which arrived last night). We have 4 inches of snow on the ground and whatever was laying in the wolf yard will now be stuck in the snowblower. Let’s hope there are no moose bones. Aidan is doing extremely well with a lot of good social contact with staff. We have about 4 days left with his Discoid Lupus treatment and we will be taking a break for a while to see the pigmentation stays on its’ own. Aidan has a clear command of the male rank order, but Luna still makes him cringe and avoid her. We have started to see him assert some dominance, but Luna’s fairly intense greetings can be overwhelming. We do see Aidan doing a lot more chasing behavior than earlier this fall, and the distended stomach issues that we noticed in late summer seem to be gone. The vets tested for parasites, cushings disease and even considered doing an immobilization for more invasive sampling, but we decided against taking him out of the pack even for a short veterinary procedure. He might have just had a bit too many of Luna’s leftovers.
