Chica had a wrist injury on the Yukon Quest. It had almost completely healed but it looks like she hit a hole and injured it again. When they picked her up, Chica has a slightly swollen left wrist. All her vital signs are normal and her appetite is good. She will remain on anti inflammatory meds for a few days.
Doug picks up Chica from the Dog Drop volunteers behind the Millenium Hotel in Anchorage. Jennifer, Chica, Kathleen and Doug.
The Anchorage Dog Drop vets and volunteers are a dedicated crew. SP Kennel thanks them all for putting the health of our racing dogs first.

I agree they do an excellent job not only with caring for their needs but also giving them lots of attention.
Kissy-kissy for Chicas boo boo to make it better fast.
Proud of you Chica! Feel better soon!
Poor Chica. I am disappointed that she got injured and that she is not going to finish the Iditarod. But I am glad that she is being looked after so well while she is a bit poorly. Please give her a hug and pat,(or 30), from me and tell her she tried her best and did a good job. She will have a bit of extra attention at home while there are not so many dogs there!
