Niles has his spring clip



Niles came in for his annual check-up, clip and dental examination today. Because his coat gets so matted in spring his carer opts to have him clipped all over every year. Eleven year old Niles passed his physical exam and blood tests with flying colours. 
He had a general anaesthetic so that we could scale and polish his teeth and take out one decayed canine tooth. 
Niles does not like the clippers and the matts were perilously close to his skin so Nurse Eliza clipped him while he was still asleep.  
He was very frisky when he woke up, demanding a late breakfast asap!
