Istar’s vet visit went extremely well. There had been some concern because one of his, um, male parts had not descended and they were afraid he would need a more extensive surgery to be neutered. Now, his surgery (December 28) should go smoothly with minimal cutting or pain. He finished his vaccinations and even handled the nosedrops like a champ. (Un)fortunately, he’s been knocked out by the medicine and he has slept most of the last two days. Hobbit must be having sympathy side-effects; she’s slept the last two days, too.
