Many thanks for all the purrs.

Snowball's dental was fine, though he had to lose one tooth with
defective enamel (or similar).
He's a favourite cuddlebunny with all the staff & I had trouble getting
him back!

Raki the D-thing's neutering went brilliantly: he had become the
reception-room guard-dog when I arrived to collect him and they offered
him the position permanently. But he was pleased to see me so I brought
him home. He's been amazingly resilient and you'd never know he had a
general and an op. just 20 hours ago.  While waiting to come home while
I chatted with the staff he thoroughly watered Reception's rug - they're
used to it & have an in-house washing-machine, luckily.

Bandit's ouchies were worse than I'd thought so he came along for an
exam & treatment, wailing at 100dB all the way and soaking his cage in
protest. Then he wiped himself around the exam table & room too!  But
they're used to it & no complaints. Nice people.
Antibiotics & anti-inflammatories suitably administered: he was as good
as gold for those.

So the biggest ouchie is to my wallet: adding after-treatments and a
year's supply of Frontline Combo I'm light nearly USD550 (321 GBPounds).
Of course they're worth every penny.

Purrs right back atcha'll

Gordon, Bandit, Snowball & Raki
