Petey's Vet Visit

Petey went to the vet on Monday for his annual exam & shots. He was surprisingly good. They didn't have to muzzle him and he didn't try to climb up on John's shoulder to get away. He was rewarded for this in only having to get a rabies shot. The vet said at his age, he doesn't need any of the other shots. He will be 13 on February 2.

He got a good report overall. He'd lost one pound which is a lot since he only weighed 12 to begin with. The vet was not concerned, so we aren't either. Nor are we surprised. She did say he had some gum infection and needed to get his teeth cleaned, which may be why he's not eating well. He's scheduled for that on the 2nd. What a lovely gift for him! In the meantime we have to give him two antibiotics everyday for the infection.

After the 2nd, we will have a teenager in the house with clean teeth. WOOT!
