Ointment on all wolves daily and vitamins to all wolves daily. Use of holding pen seems very successful, able to isolate Lakota for special needs without having trouble with the yearlings. It is important to note that the Yearlings need to be drawn off the main enclosure first by putting them in the pack holding area, then draw Lakota into the smaller holding pen. This will avoid the Arctic yearlings mobbing her from behind when she goes in. Also, Lakota needs to be the first wolf out of the holding pen, so the yearlings aren't outside of the gate waiting to mob her. Lakota is very wary of the yearlings presence and avoids being in an area that makes her vulnerable.
