grizzer – Jul 30, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer is using his new enclosure, especially the den top. He likes high vantage points to watch activities and this den is perfect for that purpose. He has done much better with activity in the wolf yard that used to stress him out, now, when there's too much going on, he just heads to the new enclosure and finds a secluded place to rest. One of the staff had some experience using cinnamon in healing wounds on horses, and we may try this with Grizzer to encourage the last growth of tissue and hair follicles. We continue lanolin on the wound, but the downside is that we're getting more sticky lanolin in his hair. He does let us comb it out, but before we get to cleaning him up, his appearance is a bit rough.
