6 Critter Vet Visit

Home from the little critter + 1 kitty vet visit.  Whew!  I must say - it went much smoother than I thought.  I got up early to make sure I had plenty of time to find everyone and get them loaded up.  Luckily the ferrets were easy on me - no searching required.

The results of the appointment - very positive - everyone seems in great health.  Ferrets are all looking great, Nigel was a bit grumpy but we still checked him out and he seems to be doing great as well.  Ollie had a blood draw to check his thyroid levels - we should know in a couple of days what his numbers look like.

The appointment went something like this:

I got them in the car - Clooney in one carrier, Maddie, Vi and Finn in one, Ollie in one and Nigel in his:

Violet, Finn and Maddie

Ollie

Nigel

Off we went - with Ollie letting all of us know that he did not like the car.  UGH

Once we got there everyone got out and had a look around:

Finn decided he did not like the vets office at all and wanted to be held the entire time:

Then we did weight checks - Maddie - 1.5 pounds, Violet - 2.0 pounds, Clooney - 2.5 pounds, Finn - 3 pounds, Nigel - 1.5 pounds and Ollie - 7.5 pounds - up a little since he went on thyroid meds which is good!

And then everyone got their physicals:
