Doctors, Dentists and Vets

We've been to all three in two days.

Nothing too serious ... at least not yet.

Johnathan had a re-check on his ears since his ear infection a couple of weeks ago. We're free and clear in the ear department!

John had his top two wisdom teeth taken out this morning. He's such a trooper! He did it with only local anesthesia and even drove himself home. He did have to go back this afternoon to have them pack his "holes" because the bleeding hadn't stopped all the way. And he has the mens' retreat this weekend to lead singing at! I'm off to the store soon to buy jello, applesauce and pudding. :)

Bison had been moping all morning and wouldn't touch his breakfast--VERY unusual. He didn't even try to lick me or jump up on me when I bent down to pet him. Again, very unusual. I did find half of a cheese stick wrapper on his bed this morning, so it's possible that either the other half or the cheese stick or both are somewhere in his belly. I decided to take him to vet when he was trying to lie down and would just yelp because he couldn't get comfortable. He's been trying to sleep sitting up ... he's almost fallen over a few times, which would be funny except for the whole "being sick" thing. So, we saw the vet who basically said he didn't know for sure, but gave him an anti-stomach cramping shot and some soft, bland food for Bison to try to eat to "get things moving along." He said if it was just plastic, that it wouldn't show up on an x-ray, so thankfully we didn't have to do that. We'll re-evaluate tomorrow.

As far as I know the females in the household need no medical attention at this time. :)

Life is always exciting!
