On the afternoon of February 14, the veterinary team sedated Black Bear yearling #19-0097 to examine her paws. The abrasions on her paw pads (first noted during the admission examination) had worsened during the past several days while the bear was housed in a crate. It’s possible the bear had suffered some mild frostbite on her paws in the wild and the dead skin is now sloughing off.
