Cinder, the second year bear cub from Withow, WA, is shown here (1st photos) in the Bobcat Cage at Lake Tahoe Wildlilfe Care. The first two photos were taken before Dr Willitts came to immobilize her so he could change her dressings and apply new healing ointment to her four burned paws. She is UP on the highest the highest platform in this cage, where she feels the safest. The 3rd photo shows Dr Willitts applying the Furazone ointment to her paw, which is then wrapped so she wont lick it. And, finally, the final photo shows her on her nice fluffy, comfortable BEAR bed while she wakes up. She is still on pain medication, since burned victims have severe pain. To do all four paws takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on what else needs to be done to allow her to heal as quickly as possible so she can be returned back to Washington as quickly as possible. Dr Willitts has seen nothing that is hindering his management of her burns. Everything seems to be healing as expected, but, only time will tell when she can go back home.

She is on an every other day schedule now and will continue on that until the doctor feels she is making enough progress to change that. Tom
