Update on Virga

It's been a week since we had Cirrus and Virga in for their checkups and our vet found two masses near Virga's pouch. She has has been on an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to treat her for mastitis, and there seems to be improvement.  She is back to her usual self in the morning, being the first (or quick second) out of the pouch for her yogurt. While the others are napping in my shirt during night play time, Virga runs on the wheel.  M has been checking the masses and says they seem to be getting smaller. Virga has been very good about taking her medications. I use a small syringe to give her just 0.2 ml of her meds, and it requires holding her so she can't squirm and can't bite, though she hasn't tried to nip me. I think she is sort of resigned to the fact that we have to do this twice a day, and just like a kid she gets a treat after taking her medicine.

So, we're hopeful that there is continued improvement and things go well next week on her next visit to the vet.
