Bullet and his latest scan...



Took bullet to see Dr. Miller... its a drive of about 30 mins towards Joburg city. They are a good pet hospital but it sure is far.

Dr. M is very happy that bullet since his operation and medication in October has not had a fit nor a teeth chattering experience. He tried to do a scan on bullet which was more or less successful, he saw that the liver did not shrink further but we have to put him on medication that will cost quite a bit (tho bernie can get us a generic supply from the US that will bring the cost down by 80%).

While on the operating table, bullet stretched and tried to escape, he really did not like being pinned down, belly up... and suddenly there is this smell that envelopes the room, caused me to sneeze uncontrollably and then on and off for the next 20 mins! Apparently, bullet released his anal gland, its used to scent pee when they mark territory but something like the skunk must have evolved to make a really really intense concoction. In anycase, bullet let one of those rip (no sound actually) just an undescribable smell. Like an intensely intense dog repellent. It was awful.

He then went for his teeth cleaning and was groggyish for 36 hours. It was really hard driving him home before his bath but at least the smell does not stick and linger. Only my hand was affected. Dr. M and his assistants, well, they smelt attractive to many female weims!
