6 Weeks!

And a trying day for the kittens. Not only did they have to have a thorough check at the vets, but on returning home I gave them a dose of wormer and clipped their claws. They were Not At All Impressed, and hated me for... oooh about 5 minutes.

The check today was a routine one. We had a double appointment so the vet could take her time. Basically, she felt them all over, checking there were no obvious deformities of the limbs, ribcage, tail etc, and feeling gently the internal organs to make sure nothing was enlarged or tender. She had a look in th mouth to see that all we well in there. Then she listened to the kittens hearts and chest (for murmurs etc) and then weighed them- weights to come.

All the kittens had a clean bill of health. When Kenneth came along for his turn, the vet spent extra time listening to his chest, but it was all clear. His blip at- 3 weeks, was it?- was just one of those things. So all in all, nice healthy babies, really good weight gain and looking rather excellent if I do say so myself :)

Indigo also got a checkup, and we talked about potential treatment for her allergy but not yet. I'm to continue just keeping them clean with the Hibiscrub and keep an eye on them. The first thing the vet would try normally, of course, is an antihistamine injection... but we can't do that while she's nursing.
