lakota – Sep 3, 2007 12:00 AM

Lakota’s surgery is scheduled for September 10th; the wolf care staff will be meeting on Wednesday the 4th to discuss the plan and staffing assignments. We will likely post a log after the return from the Vet clinic that day, but it may be later in the afternoon. All the parameters we were hoping for have been met. The morning weather conditions are much cooler, the fly season seems to have ended, the growth has slowed and Lakota has shed all of her winter hair. She is in good physical condition and hope to see a good outcome, but as I’ve said before, there is always a risk with anesthesia, especially on a 14-year old wolf. But, the location of this growth and size determines that it should be removed.
