Best of luck at the vets, Starr.

Thanks everyone.

Starr is now a conehead with his latest e-collar since he tore holes in his last one. His little owie due to one of his stitches getting pulled out is healing up fine.

The bad news is that he won't be able to have his stitches taken out on Saturday.

He now has to wait until Tuesday morning at 9am and he'll also have another urinalysis taken then. The vet wants to wait a bit before it's taken again since he just finished his antibiotics and the blood may have been due to his missing stitch. I just hope that everything will work out and that he'll remain healthy with no more UTI or any other issues. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.

Here are two new pictures of little conehead Starr. The bad thing is that it's very hard for him to eat and drink with it on but I don't want to have to remove it each time either. I now have to feed and water him out of different little bowls. I'm sure he'll get the hang of it.

I forgot to mention that the vets office didn't even charge me anything today. They wanted to charge me for the new e-collar but the receptionist didn't want to charge me so everything was free today.

I've spent so much money there lately that I think I deserve a break.

Well he managed to get out of this new e-collar.

Luckily he did it right in front of me so that I could put it back on right away. Whoever puts the e-collars on him at the vets doesn't seem to tie it tight enough. He has a very small neck so he's able to pull himself out of it. I had to rethread one of the holes while he was trying to play with the gauze string tie and then I had to tie it on him much tighter and knot it. I also noticed that his last stitch is now missing but at least theres no blood. Maybe by the time Tues. morning comes most of his stitches will have already fallen out. LOL

Starr boy, you need to keep yourself in that collar until you heal! No taking the stiches out yourself!

Fingers and paws crossed that he'll be all better on Teusday. Poor baby has been through enough!
