Hayden's two-year check up was on Tuesday, the day after his actual birthday. He was very reluctant to let the doctor touch his belly and was really shy when she needed to take a look inside his pull up. I guess it's good that he's uncomfortable with strangers messing with his baby parts! Everything looked good, except his little ears. He's been battling an ear infection that's been lingering since about September, and just can't seem to shake it. We are trying another, stronger antibiotic to see if it that will knock it out for good. It's hard since Hayden doesn't have a fever and doesn't seem to be in pain. Let's hope it works!
Oscar also needed a check up before the flight, so we went today. He needed one shot and an intranasal vaccine, which proved to be pretty difficult. Oscar has lost TWENTY pounds in the past year, so his svelte body makes him more limber and wily. I ended up having to sit on him, backed in the corner while holding his head up just long enough for the vet to put his nose vaccine in. He passed all his tests and his weight loss makes him run around like a puppy again: he is so full of energy! He definitely knows something is up, and I'm nervous for the flight with him on Saturday. But the good news is that we only have to do it once!
