We are now in the fifth year of Aty and Ui's health checkups.
Aty and Ui now undergo the examinations without any resistance.
The examination, which at first took two hours, now takes only 30 minutes.
During the physical examination, they undergo various tests such as blood sampling, xrays, stool and urine tests, and palpation.
Blood tests, in particular, can detect the possibility of infectious diseases, liver disease, renal disease, and neoplastic diseases based on the measured values.
Otters are very prone to kidney disease (kidney stones), making blood and urine tests very important.
Many cases have been reported where an otter suddenly becomes sick one day, and when he goes to the hospital, it is too late to treat him for kidney stones.

I believe that Ui's tumor was also detected and dealt with at an early stage because she was examined at the animal hospital as soon as I noticed anything unusual.

In addition, based on blood test data, Aty and Ui are evaluated once every six months for their dietary habits.
Normally, sweetfish is their staple food and chicken and scallops are their side dishes, but this time they have gained some weight and we decided to increase the proportion of chicken.

You can see how we do our checkups in our past videos, if you would like to watch them as well.

Aty: A little boy otter who came to our house at the age of 9 months.
At first he couldn't even swim in the river, but now he loves the river more than anything else and swims in it all year round.
Whenever we go out, he always walks ahead of everyone, so he has come to be called “Captain Aty”.

Ui: A tomboy with comical movements.
Because of her ferocious nature, she had to go from one owner to another.
At first, she was so ferocious that Aty was too frightened to even touch her.
But Ui opened up to us and now she and Aty make out every day.
Aty and Ui have been issued a certificate of registration as an internationally rare wild animal and plant species.

Although Ui may appear calm today, she used to be so ferocious that people could not approach her.
After more than a year of being bitten, she finally came to live with us.
Otters are very intelligent and watch the people around them very carefully.
They will never open their hearts to you if you only have a superficial relationship with them.
They are also very active animals and require several hours of exercise per day.
They need to be walked outside or swam in the river for two to three hours every day.
The amount of exercise they get inside the house will never be enough to satisfy their needs.
Please do your research on otters before you think that “I want to keep one."
You need to think carefully about whether you can face them with your life.
