    Update On Starr-New Update 4-8-07

    Hi, I thought that I'd give you an update on Starr. He's been doing very well and is now making tootsie rolls instead of pancakes in the litterbox. He's also gained some weight back so he isn't as bony as he was before. His fur and whiskers are also starting to look better and he's feeling so much better too.

    He's now taking the pred 1 time a day and will do so for almost 2 more weeks or so. Then I have to ask my vet how much I should give him. I'm hoping that I'll be able to gradually wean him off of this. He's eating the Hills Prescription Z/D diet and he loves it. I tried mixing the Natural Balance Vension & Green Pea 50/50 with it but he wasn't doing as well on it. He prefers the Hills Z/D so this is what he'll be eating even though it has some ingedients that I don't like in it. Thanks again for all of your previous concerns and prayers for him.

    The things we celebrate; tootsie rolls instead of pancakes. JUST KIDDING! I'm glad Starr is doing so much better.
    Blessings,

    Tracey I'm so glad Starr is making progress. He sure was one lucky kitty when he fell into your caring hands.

    I'm so glad to know that Starr is feeling better. That little boy sure has had more than his share of medical problems! Let's hope this is the last of them.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    I Spoke Too Soon

    Thanks everyone but now I think I spoke too soon. I guess I should say he sometimes has tootsie rolls. This morning he had a big accident in the hall way and there were several piles of mushy poo. He also started sneezing a little bit last night and he's still having some sneezing attacks and sniffling this morning. I sure hope that it's nothing. Sunny has also had some sneezing going on the past few days but I think it's only allergy related. Does the prednisolone weaken Starr's immune system? My new vet is off until Sunday so I'm going to keep a close eye on Starr and I hope that I won't need to bring him in. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

    We have some of ours sneezing also. I know it's allergy season for us, maybe them too?
