Where was I Wednesday?


 Benny: Hello everyone! Fierce warrior Benkei here! You know where I was, don't you? Hiding under the bed when #1 talked about the vet...


But she caught me, and off we went. I tried to sit really close to her when we got there...


But that didn't  work either, and they grabbed me and poked at my ear:


I didn't like that at all! Dr. C said that there were no ear mites but my ear was still very inflamed and there was clearly a bacterial infection. She is now wondering if I don't have some tiny foreign body in there that's causing all this trouble. There wasn't anything she could do with me wide awake. So, they talked with #1 and they scheduled my "op" (what's an op?) for Thursday of next week. Dr. C said that, as I would be under, she could have a really good look and clean out whatever needed to be cleaned out. I hope it doesn't hurt! In the meantime, I have more antibiotics and #1 gets to clean my ear out when it gets too gunky, and puts in drops.

In other news, I have put on 600 grammes (almost one and a half pounds) in the four weeks since I arrived. Nothing wrong with my appetite!

Anyway, that was all pretty exhausting!

  4. I am sending you good thoughts and hope the vet can find what is causing your ear problems. Maybe the new antibiotics will work better for you.

  7. Apparently, you were a very good boycat at the vet's office, Benny, and even though there may be scary times ahead, if you stop scratching, then it's worth it!
