Okay.. we just got back from the vet...
Our vet said she could not feel any babies so she is most likely NOT pregnant. If she WERE pregnant, she'd be very early in. But there's no way to tell for sure. :/ I was just told her last heat cycle was in September.
As far as her health goes, she had hookworms which probably contributed to her pot belly. We got some Pyrantal Pamoate so hopefully with the wormer and some more exercise, we can bring her chubbiness down.
She also had a really bad case of ear mites. The vet cleaned them out and sent us home with some Mita-Clear.
I have a question -- the vet said ear mites were contagious and there was a possibility of him having them if they slept/cuddled together or he liked her ear. Well we all know that they have not been sleeping/cuddling together
but he has been sniffing around her ears and they've also layed on the same bedding. I'd wash all of his bedding but I JUST washed it yesterday when I went home and I don't have access to washer/dryer. I can go to a coin laundromat if we think it's really necessary but I would just rather not. Would it be a bad idea to go ahead and treat HIM with the Mita-Clear too, just in case?
After everything we've been through with Franklin (hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, parvo and now ear mites and hookworms again..) I've turned into a complete and total nutcase. I just wiped down his travel kennel with Clorox wipes because she was in there. Boo.
I just want to be
completely safe here.
