Slightly Miffed kitties

Packed up (from left to right) Ziggy, Loki and Keito for their visit to the Very Expensive Technician.



They weren't very thrilled. Ziggy and Loki kept sounding off, but Keito was rather mellow about the entire thing. Until Aikidomayland got out of the car to walk to the back and get them out. Suddenly all three yowled in three part disharmony!

Discussed what, if any, adverse reactions to two of the vaccines Ziggy might have. It seems that Bengals have been noted to have reaction (off their feed, maybe sleeping a bit more, fever, sandbox ummm 'differences'). But seeing as Keito and Loki go outside (we have never been able to keep them in, as they were born outside) they could bring FIP or FIV back to Ziggy. So, after discussing the vaccines vs no vaccines, we opted to have her get the same vaccinations.

Ziggy: 11lbs, squirms, and being small and muscular, she was difficult to hang on to. I let the vet and Aikidomayland handle her.

Loki: the moose came in weighing 7.8 kilos (17.18 lbs) and not overweight. He hissed twice but other than that, behaved. His leg is fine, and he is in excellent health.

Keito: weight in at 7 kilos (15lbs), and was so mellow, had to shake him to make sure he was awake! He has a bit of tartar and gingivitis, but not enough to need dental scaling. Dr Jon said it was better than average for a 6 yr old cat. Switching to the 'dental protection' kibble. Also in excellent health.

So, all three have had their yearly check up, and vaccinations. Ziggy goes back in a few weeks for 2nd Leuko vaccine. And then they are set for a year.
