Awwwww, one little tear trickled down my face at the sight of those stitches. I hope Starr is back to his peppy little self soon.
{{{hugs!}}}
Thanks everyone. :D Debbie, yes Pearl was already spayed before I adopted her. ;) Starr's doing very well and he managed to get one of paws through the front of his e-collar. I put it back through and then a few minutes later he had taken it off and was trying to lick his stitches. :eek: I put it back on and tried to tie it much tighter and I looped the shoestring around his neck and knotted it so hopefully it'll now stay in place. Starr has a very good appetite and is also much more active today. I don't know how much longer he'll let me keep in confined in the cage so I'll just play it by ear. :)
I'm assuming you meant Pearl, and yes we had her spayed, vaccinated, tested, micro-chipped, the whole shebang before we adopt out! She was good to go when Tracey got her! :)Quote:

I'm glad he is feeling better and that picture of him in his collar is too darn adorable.
Keep that collar on Starr and leave those stitchies alone now, ya hear. :)
Oh, Starr, don't take off your collar! You look so handsome in it. Much nicer than those icky white plastic ones.
I was a bit upset seeing those stitches too. Zerlina says don't worry, the fur will grow back in NO time, and now you don't have to worry about getting "in trouble." :confused: :confused: :D
Don Juan offers his most sincere condolences. :(
And Aunt Liz says GET WELL SOON!
:D :D
Tracey, When Yoshi had his surgery he loved sleeping in his hammock, it didn't put any weight on his surgical parts and he slept throughout the nights in that. If you don't have a hammock, they are really easy to make for temporary usage.
I am so glad to hear that this surgery is finally over with! And the same with the ringworm! You must be breathing a nice sigh of relief
So good to know that Starr ain't broke even though he's gonna get fixed.....
:D :D :D Too funny!Quote:

Awwww, I'm sorry Tracey and Starr that I just saw this thread!
GREAT news that he recieved a clean bill of health and that he's well on his way to recovering from his spay/neuter.
Gentle hugs to you both. :)
Hugs,
Kelly :)
You might not want to mention this to Starr, but I think he looks like a flower in that blue collar!!!
How's the little guy doing tonight?
Starr's doing well and he kept his e-collar on all day. :) He was very hungry and thirsty this evening and was also very good while I gave him his pills. The e-collar sure helps me while I'm pilling him because he can't get his paws up to me to bat the pills away. :) He jumped up on one of the cat condos in my bedroom so he must be feeling pretty good. He was also trying to scratch the e-collar because it must be very itchy. The vets office left me a message on my answering machine and they wanted to know how he's doing. I don't know why they didn't call me at work. I got home late so I'll call them and let them know tomorrow. I hope that Oct.15th will come quickly so he can hurry up and have his stitches removed. :)
Awwww..he looks so cute in his pictures. Poor guy, but the stitches will be out shortly and he'll be back to his normal self in no time.
I wonder why they don't use dissolvable sutures? Both of our girls, Reese and Abby, had that type when they were spayed. So much nicer than the ones that have to be removed.Quote:

It's going to be very hard to confine him until Oct. 15th but I'm going to try my best. :) Pearl was trying to attack Starr's e-collar. I guess she thinks that it's a new play toy.Quote:
