Not a clean bill of health, but a good visit nonetheless

Loki‘s vet visit today wasn’t as stellar as I had hoped, but it was still a good visit.

Loki appears to have a very slight yeast infection in one ear, so he’s on Tresaderm twice per day for the next week.  Outside of that little hiccup, his health is otherwise fantastic.  He survived the poking and prodding with little agitation (except while we were in the car going to and coming from the vet, in which case he readily voiced his dissatisfaction with the situation).  The vet was quite happy with his overall health and even mentioned once again how impressive his muscle tone is.

Although Loki endured the normal violations (when they take his temperature and give him the vaccination), he was even more abused this time as they thoroughly cleaned his ears.  Despite the terrible treatment, he remained relatively (that being the operative term) calm throughout the ordeal.

He’ll definitely be getting a treat this weekend, although wielding that like a reward for being good is somewhat deceptive since they almost always get a big treat on the weekends.  Just don’t tell Loki that he’d have gotten a treat even if he was a terror — doing so would imperil future visits to the doctor.
