Sabu, Can you Hear Me Now?

A few of days ago, Sabu's ear swelled up slightly and it became clear something was wrong as Sabu continuous rubbed his ear against his enclosure.  Concerned, Vicky called in the vet and last night I received a progress report on precious Sabu. 

As suspected, Sabu had an ear infection.  The ear was clean thoroughly and Sabu was placed on antibiotics for the infection.  In no time, Sabu should be able to hear Vicky ask him, "Hey Sabu, can you hear me now?"

Needless to say, Sabu had to be lightly sedated so the doctor could perform the exam.  Sedation for Sabu, at his age, is a risk, so all precautions were taken to ensure he recovered quickly from the sedation.

When Sabu recovered from the light sedation, he only wanted lots of love and attention-- he just wasn't interested in taking all his meds.  Who can blame him!  He is such a love bug!

Well, isn't this interesting... Kovu also had an ear infection per the e-newletter I received on July 1st:

Bless his heart, I hope he is feeling better today!
