After the intake exam it was determined this pup is a 3 day old female. She is quite thin and has an umbilical infection, so she will begin a round of antibiotics immediately.

To help transition her to a diet of fish, this pup is being fish schooled. She gets to swim with live and dead fish, and staff expect her instinct to kick in so she will start eating on her own.

This pup was officially named Cookie by some wonderful Conoco Philips contributors. She is gaining weigh great and has started on variable feeds to mimic more of a natural unpredictable feed schedule she may have in the wild. 

Cookie has been experiencing some discomfort in one of her eyes. An opthamalogist for animals came to Seward to give her an exam. She has scar tissue on her eye, and though it seems uncomfortable at times it doesn't inhibit her vision. This is good news, as staff can still plan for her release this fall.
