My first thought was something out of "A Conflagration of Dragons". But I've also got "The Moon Door" in mind: any chance there's a vet specializing in wolves with some useful knowledge when the women are in that state? Also, "The Blueshift Troupers": seems the shapeshifting that can happen when one jumps might be into a different (very likely alien) species.

And then I got an image of a trope being turned on its head: Do you have a storyline where it would make sense that a Grey survives a very rough crash-landing on Earth and needs to be examined by Earth doctors with their tools to discover enough about its physiology to save it?
