Just thought I'd keep everyone updated following Afred & Flo's health check last night at the vets. We couldn't get in last week due to vet shortage (covid) - which coincidently seems to be tearing through my workplace at the moment - 5 people testing positive in 4 weeks, 1 hospitaliszed, 2 very poorly but just returned, one unwell for a week and one just gone down with it.
Anyhoo, took Afred & Flo to see the vet just to get them checked out. Their first vet vist (and hopefully the last). Alfred was first - ears good, slight bit of wax but not of concern. Eyes - well he has eye discharge which we knew about. Not sure of the origin but we give his eyes a wipe to keep the dried fluid at bay. Teeth fine and his weight is a bit on the chonk side at 3 and a quarter kilos.
Flo was next. Not quite as keen or as 'co-operative'. Her ears are ok - again a slight bit of wax but not any concern. No teeth worries and no other concerns other than a bit over her ideal weight - she's about the same a Alfred.
Flo seems much happier in herself - both my wife and I note. My wife reports Flo looked so much more happier this morning as she was sitting sunbathing in the living room on her green towel, just beaming. Alfred is still quite anxious of us both - not really liking to have any strokies but is always extremely relaxed so it's confusing for me. I know and we know that Flo needed the companion to help her and that was why we put her through the bonding process at the Blue cross centre with Alfred. Alfred is Flo's companion and as much as he is part of our family, we are not yet his close family. Hopefully in time he will feel more accepting of us.
I'll update as much as I can.
