The Health of our Wolves
Our wolves are healthy because of the way that we feed and care for them. No raw meat, it can give them worms, pass on germs and diseases from the raw meat. That is why we cook all of our meat.
Adults have all shots, rabies shots, vet checks and a daily vitamins. All pregnant mothers get prenatal vitamins and extra food which means they get all needed nutrients for healthy babies. All adults get wormed on a regular basis, including mothers and babies, all regularly. This insures cubs are healthy and happy.
The Brain
The wolves brain is three times the size of a dog's and has the capability to learn like a 5 year old human at birth. They continue to get smarter as they develop, there is no limit to what they can learn, understand or remember. Wolves need to only see things usually one time to learn it. Their brains grow and develop much like a humans. By all rights it's the same as a humans Brain.
Wolves howl to communicate. They make different tones using their vocal cords, they are similar to a humans. It seems like they can really talk,it's no a trick, they only do it when they need to communicate or get your attention. At first it sounds like baby talk and they can only say two syllable words if it has more they two they will drop the beginning syllables.
Eyes
Wolves eyes are brown, sometimes they are light brown which can look more silver or yellow next to the color of their coat. Wolves have night vision, animal that have night vision or is nocturnal have brown eyes. They collect the light during the day and reflect it back at night. It is like a headlight on a car, that is why if you take a pitcher with a camera that has a flash, shine a light in their eyes at night or look at them in certain lighting. Their eyes will look red, yellow or blue depending on the lighting being used. A full wolf will not have green or blue eyes, but like the lion only brown.
Diseases
They are passed on by a dirty area, bad raw meat, road kill and feral (wild) animals. Ours do not get any of these things in the enclosure around the house. The area is cleaned up daily, to help prevent diseases, we take every caution possible.
Changes in Environment
A change in environment can give wolves diarrhea. If the change is not handled correctly (especially if they are a cub) it can make them very sick or even kill them. When getting a new cub or adult, moving them or changing their environment you should expect them to get diarrhea. If this happens you have to take care of it with anti-diarrhea medicine and probios for the stomach. Give the medicine for about three days or when diarrhea is over and the animal is eating better. Change in environment can also cause worms since the wolf carries the enzyme with them. If signs of worms, use Pro Pet, a cat wormer you can get at Wal-mart. Worm the wolf then worm again 10 days later, 1cc for a cub and 2 cc for an adult, in mouth. We worm our cubs at 6 weeks and then again at 9 week. Babies of all kinds are born with worms, cats, dogs and wolves. When you get your cub from us, they have already been wormed, the vet may find dead worms in the stool when you first receive the cub.
Dye's in food
Wolves can't have dye's in their food and medications, especially red dye's (example red dye #8). In medication make sure they do not get any phenobarbytol, it can destroy the liver in wolves and is almost impossible to remove them from this drug. Here is a story from a reader to help explain what I am talking about:
Hybrid
Hybrids with a high content of dog can get diseases easier then pure content wolf. They carry no heart worm or dog diseases, they do not have inherited diseases or the health problems likes dogs from inbreeding.
Our cubs come with a health check if we ship them and an option of a health check if you pick up.
We thrive for healthy cubs that is our motto. We want all our cubs to live a long healthy life.
They come with a guarantee in the contract. If in the first year they die or get sick because of health or birth defects then we will replace the animal at no cost to you, shipping not included. You would need to pick up or pay for shipping of the new cub.
