Maya has completely shed, except for a ruff on her neck. In the last two weeks, staff have added fish oil tablets to her diet in hopes of improving her coat. She has always had a coarse layer of guard hairs compared to the other wolves. When she was younger, staff would add a can of tuna to her diet twice a week. As she feeds with the pack on weekly carcasses, it's difficult to add tuna, so the fish oil capsules are added to a meatball and given with her daily vitamin. Grizzer is also getting fish oil, and so far, the coats seem to be improving.
