This evening Simon met Bill and Ted. He spent a lot of time examining them both. He started with Ted, who would appear to have little or no vision. He didn't react when Simon shined a light into his eyes and when Simon put him on the floor, he moved around but held his head forward as though he was sniffing his way around. When he got close to the wall he reacted when his whiskers touched the wall. He also doesn't appear to react to loud noises. Simon checked his teeth thoroughly using buccal pad separators, and his upper incisors are a little out of alighnment and seem slightly twisted. However, the rest of his teeth look good at the moment, so it's going to be a case of keeping a close eye on things. Then it was Bill's turn. He also didn't react to the light and again moved around the floor as though he was sniffing his way around in exactly the same way that Ted had done. However, on examination, his teeth all look good.

Simon feels they have a good quality of life and that in familiar surroundings they cope well. He has suggested that I give them both a vitamin C supplement too.

So, all in all it was a very successful vet visit for them. Not quite as good for me though, as I almost passed out in Simon's room. He had to go and get me a drink of water and I was sat on the floor chatting to him! :))
 
Poor you! I hope that you are safely back home and in bed!

I am chuffed that both boys' teeth are looking good. They will be happy in their own way since they don't know other. I am sure that you will give them plenty of enrichment they can smell, feel and taste.
 
That all sounds very positive! You take care of yourself too though Debbie.

Thanks for the update on our special boys.

I've been poorly all day, and had considered cancelling the appointment. However, by the middle of the afternoon I was feeling much better so decided to go.

As Simon was checking Bill's eyes I began to feel really sick and then started to break out in a sweat. I told Simon I was feeling bad and asked him if he could get me a drink of water. He was really lovely, and commented that I was the same colour as Bill and Ted! :))

Glad everything went ok! Lethals have lots of problems :(

I've had a lethal boy named Wilbur, and also didn't react to the light. He also needed his teeth trimmed a lot. He also turned out to be deaf too :(
 
Really pleased the boys visit went where. Just out of intrest where did you take them as I only live about 10 mins away from you by car I think. I hope you feel better soon.
