Eric spends more money at the vets!

Hello Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

We were up early this morning, as you know, Eric had an appointment at the vets so the morning walk was done in darkness, even before the sunrise!

So, no camera to take a picture of the sunrise, mind you it was cloudy so we don't think there would be any sunny bits anyway!

I retired to my bed while Eric got woken up before his time and so did Wendy but Wendy got her butt washed while Eric got a lick of ferret oil before getting put in the traveling cage!

Eric says that he was rolled over onto his back and was blasted by the Cryopen while he was slurping the oil and a couple of times, he could feel the Cryopen attacking the tumour, which put him off the ferret oil for a moment or two!

The vet was very pleased with the condition of the treatment and said that she wants Eric back again in two weeks and after that we could leave it a bit longer between visits!

So, it looks like we are beating this tumour, it's been a long and expensive treatment but OTL says that Eric is worth it!

Old Two Legs has had a sore throat for a few days and a small cough, so, just to make sure, he has got one of these Rapid Flo Test kits to get himself checked out. A visit to the NHS site was a waste of time as they didn't have any in stock and suggested we go to our local chemist and when telephoned them, they didn't have any in stock either!

A neighbour of ours had a test kit spare and kindly let us have that.

OTL found there were no instructions in the box so had to go onto the NHS web site for a view of the instructions and after watching it four times, decided to have a go!

Now he has had two of these tests before but that was a year or two ago and he had forgotten that taking a sample on the swab first of all made you want to throw up!

The second sample is taken from the back of your nose and if you get the right spot, your eyes water terribly!

Well, he followed instructions and thirty minutes later he got the result............ALL CLEAR!

So, it looks like it could be the beginning of a cold or worse, flu. He has had his flu jab so my money is on a cold.

I can see that he will be taking what he calls a 'medicinal' slurp of the single malt!

Any excuse!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
