Black Bear cub #16-0568 (Red Tag) has been healing well during the past week. The cub’s wounds and sutures are checked and cleaned daily, and Dr. Dana is pleased with the healing progress. On Friday, May 13, Dr. Dana decided to remove the cub’s e-collar; on Sunday, May 15, the cub was cleared to be introduced to the two other bear cubs. The rehabilitation staff will be monitoring the cubs closely to ensure no sutures are accidentally removed in cub wrestling matches. If all goes according to plan, Red Tag will have his sutures removed on Sunday, May 22.
