Aging animals tend to have greater needs than younger animals, and the Center’s Retired Pack is no exception. More frequent feedings and smaller portions per feeding are important for a metabolism that is slowing down. Although, in Lakota’s video, you will see that she’s still mobile. Staff did notice another growth on her cheek, similar in feel to the other fibroid cysts on her body. In the video you will see her doing a face wipe, this is a common behavior after feeding, thought to remove blood from the muzzle.
