Back at the Vet

We were back to visit our vet today, but this was a routine visit.  It was time for the annual wellness check for CB and Foehn.  Dr. W came into the room with an entourage today - the vetmed student who initially greeted us and took history info, a new resident, and a visiting resident from Japan. In addition to our four gliders we had our grandson with us as well, so it was quite a crowd.

CB, our laid back glider, "Mr. Chill", pitched a fit today during the exam.  He did not want anything to do with Dr. W or the exam. When she placed him in a container to weigh him he was crabbing as loud as he could. He even managed to push aside the weighted lid of the container and escape briefly before Dr. W gathered him up in the towel. He was fine once the exam was complete and he could go back in the pouch with the others.  His reaction was uncharacteristic for him, and he's been examined several times before and never reacted like this. Foehn did just fine during her exam. She crabbed a bit, which is to be expected, but was pretty settled down for her.

We did discuss Virga and Cirrus a bit. According to the oncologist there is apparently no "good" chemotherapy to treat them without making them miserable and lower their quality of life. The evaluation of the CT scan by the radiologist wasn't available yet, so we don't quite know all we are dealing with yet.
