First of all, thanks to that kind soul who made a donation, it covers most of the emerging diagnostic expenses. I have not been able to find out who did this but I would like to thank them personally and would be very happy to draw a picture for them if they want to reveal themselves!
About Charles, it's the boy who got bitten by the tick. We're taking care of his eye and keeping eye on him in case he shows symptoms of piroplasmosis. So far so good, after the drops the eyes stopped festering.
As for Mika, this is our girl: with her, unfortunately, everything is only getting more disturbing, on Saturday, before a visit to the veterinarian, she was found to have impaired coordination and nystagmus. Today came the tests and unfortunately, there is a suspicion of a tumor.
We give her painkillers and control that she eats, because she herself does not really want to.
She has an appointment with another specialist on the 24th and I'll keep you posted as it becomes clearer what's going on. There's only one place in town that can do a CT scan, so we'll go there. Wish us luck
