It's Starr's 4th Birthday Tomorrow 3-22-09!!!

Yes, it's my baby boys 4th birthday tomorrow.:) We've been through a lot together and he's my lap boy.

Unfortunately he has to go to the vet again tomorrow for a re-check.:( He had his annual exam 2 weeks ago and he had some blood work done. My vet said that he has high protein levels in his blood so she wants to take another blood sample and do the test again. It may be just because he didn't drink enough the last time. He now weights 12.8lbs which doesn't sound like a lot but he's my smallest cat and I feel that he should only weigh between 9-10lbs at the most. He's still on 5mg of pred daily and is also on 1/4 of a 10mg tablet of generic prozac which is helping to keep his less stressed out. Please send some positive vibes his way. Thanks in advance.:)

I took a few new pictures of him today to show you just how chubby he has gotten.

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY STARR!!! I hope that you'll have many more happy and healthy years ahead of you. I :love:you Peepers.:)

Thanks so much everyone.:D

Randi, that sure is a cute picture of him from his slimmer days.;)

I just got back from Starr's vet appointment a little while ago and everything went well.:) My vet did a pcv/total protein blood test on him and I was able to wait for the results. His blood protein is now within the normal limits so he's fine.:) She said she could do another blood test to help determine which protein it is but she doesn't want to waste my money.

She's a very caring vet and not in it for the money. Today's visit only cost me $22.50 which was just for the blood test.:) She didn't even charge me anything for his office re-check which would've been $42.00. I think that the front office was a little surprised by this. I like that each vet decides what they're going to charge their client and they can give discounts if they want to.:) She's given me many discounts in the past. I'm now going to try giving Starr 2.5mg of pred every day to see how he'll do on this. If he doesn't do well during the first week then I'm supposed to put him back on 5mg of pred a day.

Happy Birthday Starr! I know you're mama's special little peeper boy, and I'm glad the vet visit went well. Are those kittien pictures too cute or what? :love: He's certainly grown a lot since his baby days! Birthday wishes for many more years to come.
