malik – May 27, 2011 12:00 AM

Malik and Shadow had a successful immobilization. We did pull Malik's tooth, and after looking at the decomposition of the root, it was a good thing that we did. This abscess would have continued to be a problem. Malik had some other issues with some slight hair loss on his shoulder and back hip, and blood work will determine if this might be caused by a thyroid problem. We will keep the logs updated as the results are available. We did offer Malik a deer leg the night of the immobilization to see how he would eat, he had no problem eating them both (even though one was meant for Shadow).
