Starr's Had A Relapse & It's My Fault:Update 5-20-07

Well Starr is still not doing well. He's still having accidents and they are diarrhea or very mushy poo. Yesterday was a good day and I thought that he was finally over his tummy upset but this wasn't the case. I was letting Sunny out of my room at 5am this morning and I noticed that Starr had made several piles of diarrhea in the hallway and some more in the dining room.

I had already e-mailed his vet on Tues. night and she wants to see him for a recheck. She works from Sun.-Wed. and I was able to make an appointment for this Sun. at 9am. I just don't understand why he's not recovering and doing so poorly again. He's also getting much harder to pill so my vet said that his meds could be compounded into a tasteless liquid form. I hope that this will help. I'm sure it'll cost more but it'll be worth it if it will help him. I wonder if he needs a larger dose now that he's gained some weight back. This may be the reason why the 5mg dose isn't working as well. Please send some positive vibes his way. I'll update you some time on Sunday after his appointment. Thanks.

Gosh, poor Starr and poor you! I really hope the vet can figure out why he's not improving. Perhaps, like you said, now that he has more weight on him he just needs a larger dose of meds. Good thoughts coming your way! I hope he gets better soon, I know how frustrating that must be for you.

**hugs**

Prayers for Starr and lots of good thoughts for you both.

Sending lots of positive thoughts for poor Starr! After so many days, I don't think it's coming from the food he ate the other day that he had a relapse. Maybe he would really need a larger dose of his meds.

Best wishes to him!
