Ursa's lump surgery
A few weeks ago Mark Woodcock found a little lump on Ursa, one of our 11 year old female wolves. Of course this needed looking at.

A groggy Ursa waking upAugust 23, 1999
Pat and Jill anesthetized Ursa here at the Park and I sat with a sleeping Ursa in the back of Jill's truck to our Vet, Dr. Harper in West Lafayette.

Ursa a bit out of sorts waking up from anesthesia. Surgery went well and Ursa took what seemed like forever to wake up, but finally she was awake enough for us to safely take her home and after about an hour she was up and about. Ursa is very groggy though. This page has been written just after surgery. The lump was just a fatty tumor and fortunately benign.
