Well, I wasn't totally satisified with the vet's assesment. Up until now there has only been the male vet, Martin, working. I saw a lady vet. Told her what was going on with the chasing, ear etc. Told her what you said Crofty. She poo pooed that idea and said that Pickles and his relatioship has probably changed. She said he might have mites but she didn't think he had an ear infection. At this point she hadn't even looked in his ear. I ased her howyou would know if he had an infection. She told me it was very difficult to tell. She gave him an injection for mites and that was it.
Martin ALWAYS checks their heart, teeth and nails at each appointment - even when they are just having jabs for myxi etc. She didn't do this. I don't feel satsified with her assesment.
Pickles continues to chase Amos. He's to be fed on the shelf. He sleeps on the shelf etc. I am going to wait the 10 days that the lady vet said I should wait and ten make an appointment with Martin.

Thanks for the reply Crofty - yeah Martin always does all those checks on my two no matter what they're in for. I was disappointed. It just so happens that when I brought Amos back from the vet, he seemed to be on the floor of the shed almost every-time I looked in - whereas he was always on the shelves before. Since then - I have seen them lie together a number of times and if they aren't laying together - they are laying close by. Amos is always on the floor now too. I haven't seen any chasing either. Now I doubt very much the injection is going to work the same day. So I am not sure what happened or what caused them to fall out - I am relieved they're friends again. Thanks for advice. Oh, I didn't want to take them to vet together, as I usually do as I was worried about a fight taking place and them not being able to get away from one another.
