lakota – May 12, 2008 12:00 AM

Staff noticed a limp on Lakota's back leg early last week. Since then, she has been treated with an anti-inflammatory, and seems to be improving. As you will see in the video, it still appears as if she is splaying her back feet out. This may be in response to pain, or it may be an indication of something more significant. We will keep you posted. We don't introduce the pups to the retired wolves, since we don't want the Exhibit Pack to associate the pups with the retireds. There's some history of aggression between Mac and Shadow, and we don't want the pups rejected because Shadow sees the association with MacKenzie.
