Last week I referenced a growth on Shadow that the vets determined to be benign. It's not a fatty cyst, which can be common on older animals, but appears to be a skin tag that increases in size. For those of you who have been supporters of the ambassador wolves for a while, you may recall Lakota had a few of these around the time she was 13 that required surgery to get at the root of the growth. He's much more active since this growth opened up. I was able to clean it, placed him on a week of antibiotics and have removed some of the matted hair around it. Of course, he could be in a better mood because it's not 90 degrees today.
