Starr's 2nd Holistic Vet Visit
Hi, I thought I'd update you about Starr. He went to the holistic vet again today and he was much calmer towards her. She gave him another accupunture treatment and when she felt his tummy area she could tell that he has already improved.:) He's been doing very well.:)
I asked her when we could start weaning him off of the pred. She wants to wait until he's been on the supplements for at least 60 days to make sure that his system is back on track. Then we'll do it very slowly. She said if he had been on the pred for a long time then it would take even longer to wean him off of it. She's been working with a cat that was on pred for about 6 years and it's taken about 1 year to get him down to a very small dose of pred which he'll eventually be weaned off of.
I asked her if I had taken Starr to her when I first started noticing his diarrhea problem if she would have treated him differently. She said that he would have probably only had to be on 2 of his 3 supplements and that he probably wouldn't have needed his GI Encap supplement. Back then it never even occurred to me to take him to a holistic vet. Starr goes back in 3 weeks and Storm goes back for his 2nd visit on Sept. 6th. Storm's been calmer lately but he still has stormy moments. She said that in time these should go away.
