**The coyote Cheyenne was observed lying down in her enclosure and appeared unwilling to move. When she arose and began to walk to her den, her gait was very slow, stiff, and unsteady. The Caretaker reported that she had been running around when last observed up, but has been lying down in her den more often as the weather turned colder. It is thought that Cheyenne is 18 years old. Changes in gait and reduced mobility often indicate pain or discomfort in animals. This animal should be evaluated soon by a veterinarian to determine an appropriate method to diagnose and treat her condition. Correct by 10/24/2015. The inspection and exit briefing were conducted with the Caretaker.
