So we’ve had some pet drama here at the zoo the past couple of days. Luna made a trip to the vet, where she was diagnosed with a nasty case of ear mites. She was actually really good while we were at the office. A shot, a deep ear cleansing and some medicine and she purred through most of it. She seems to already be feeling better – but trying to give her medicine and clean her ears every day is definitely a two-person job – alas, I’m a one-person office.

Then I found Agatha sunk at the bottom of the tank. This is the first fish I’ve lost since adopting them back in May. They’re so hard to tell apart, I’ve never named them… but I’ve decided that in death, they’ll get a handle. I notified the birth parents (human), said a few words and gave her the ol’ flush.

Gertrude isn’t looking to good at this point either…
