$300 later, the verdict on Vance!

Just thought I'd update you all on our great adventure over to the vet. The $300 covered a new flea program for all 3 animals, check ups, a vaccine for Shayde, and an antiinflammatory for Vance. Here's what it was....

The lump thing I found wasn't in a vaccination site, but it wasn't in a place I'd see him scratching. By the time we got to the vet, it was gone... but we found where it used to be (he scratched it off - eww) and we found a few more tiny scabs. Turns out the verdict wasn't anything contagious (whew!). Just a flea that got in and bit him about 2 weeks ago, starting his reaction up again.

Right now, we're working on moving the pets over into the condo. I'll update you guys when I'm back online over there! :)

Well I'm glad you found out what it was. That's a lot of money to find out it was a flea bite, but better to get it now than after you move.

Oh, I'm so glad it didn't turn out to be anything too serious and I'm glad ALL the pets checked out okay!

Yup - the only other problem they really found was a mass growing in my pup's mouth. So we have to take him back in 6 weeks. They are all on Advantage for a while, and then the vet said it would be safe to just keep the puppy on his flea treatment (revolution).

I can't wait until all of Vance's fur grows back!
The cats are adjusting VERY well to the move. :) The pup is the one that whines! LOL
