Lakota is doing well and has nearly completed the shedding process. Wolf Care staff will be monitoring the weather patterns and will likely choose a day in the upcoming month to schedule the surgery to remove the benign growth from her face. With the fly season dying down and the cooler mornings, this will be an ideal time. The growth seems to have no effect on her health, but she does scratch it with her dew claw, and we want to make sure she doesn’t open it and get an infection. We will keep you posted via the wolf logs on when this surgery will occur. This week’s video shows the rank order in the pack, even though MacKenzie is slowing down and not as agile as Lakota, she still shows her dominant status.
