9 weeks! ♥️
Ash & Simba had their very first appointment with the vet yesterday, unfortunately it wasn't with our regular vet due to covid. They didn't tell us prior to that we couldn't go back with them due to covid, that was sprung on us when we got there, which I wasn't happy about. I understand regulations due to covid, but I think we should have been made aware before we got there, because I don't trust just anyone with my babies, and they've never been away from us. Their appointment didn't go exactly how we expected, their weight is good, Ash weighs 2.12 lbs and Simba weighs 2.38 lbs. They both had to have additional things done, they both had to have an ear swab. They have ear mites, which is probably from being outside when they were born. They had to have an ear cleaning before they left, they were given drops for their ears that they'll receive every morning & night. Simba has it worse than Ash, his ears are worse than hers, and he has an umbilical hernia. We have to keep an eye on the hernia, if it starts swelling, bulging, or feels hard then he may have to have emergency surgery. We're hoping it will close on it's own, if it doesn't they plan to go in and close it when he gets neutered at 6 months old. If everyone could continue keeping them in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated.
