Meet Hoa
We got another duck, a companion for Ferdinand. His name is Hoa, which means friend in Maori. They're like two peas in a pod.

Poor Nina
Nina's kind of in a bad patch right now. Her red blood cell count is the worst it's been in over a year. Her health is a roller coaster ride, day to day she'll be energetic and then lethargic. She's been going into the vet every couple weeks for blood tests, to try to find the right dosages of the right medicines to keep her stable. Our vet is great, but no one really knows what to do for her, so now we're trying everything at once. Antibiotics twice a day, prednisone and cyclosporine ever day, and leukeran every other day. It's a pretty rough regimin, and we feel bad for her. But yesterday when we brought her home she was out chasing bugs in the back yard, so you never know.

3 staples, not bad.

Miles Needs One of These
In addition to calming him down, I'll bet he could significantly lower our power bill if it was hooked up to a generator. You can see a video in action on their website.

Medication for Everyone!
Miles got neutered last week, and they gave him some anti-inflammatory pain pills, so now everyone's on a medication regimen! For a little while, at least. Nina's cell count went down again, so her dosage went up, I have a feeling she's just going to be a roller coaster. Tobi's ears and skin have been especially gross recently and so we got some high powered ear cleaner and Jessica's been flushing her ears daily for a week or so, and they've been getting better. And for her skin, the vet recommended some new shampoo, and it actually seems to be working pretty well:
