Merlin just had his first vet visit [View all]
The staff was SO surprised to see such a tiny kitten. I think they all took a turn holding him. The best 'guesstimate' of his age is just turning 3 weeks, so he was about 10 days old when I found him. I saw the vet tech but then Dr. Schwartz made an appearance, probably due to Merlin's small size and his curiosity about my latest fur baby. He's taken care of all of my kid cats.
Merlin is small for his age but appears to be very healthy. I will be giving him anti-biotics and eye drops and he received a de-wormer. I think his next visit will be right around the holidays when he will be big enough for a regular kitten check/vaccinations and to get scheduled for neutering.
Merlin was VERY well behaved. He's still in his carrier, fast asleep. I'm going to get something for breakfast and then start him on his medications.
It feels good to get this process started and to hear that he's healthy.
