Starr's A Very Sick Little Boy

[kittycats_delight]

How did I miss this thread? I am sorry Tracey. I must have been in another world. Poor Starr. I hope he continues to get better and continues taking his meds.

Hopefully the vet can tell you more about the red & swollen gums tomorrow when you take him in.

(((((((((HUGS))))))))) to you and prayers and pawsitive thoughts for Starr.
Here's hoping the meds are the right ones for him and that all is well for Starry boy very soon.

Glad to hear that Starr is feeling somewhat better. Hope the vet has positive words tomorrow and that Star is on his way to feeling much better! Hugs to you and Star-boy!

Starr went to the vet for a recheck and the vet looked at him with the ultrasound again but didn't charge me for this. He said that his ureters looked dilated so there may still be a problem. His colon and kidneys looked much better. He took some urine for a urinalysis and possibly a urine culture if needed. I'll start giving Starr some of the bene-bac tonight to help build up his good bacteria so hopefully his poops will start looking better. I'll probably have the urinalysis results in a few days.

Best wishes to you Starr, sweetie! I'm glad that most things are looking better. Fingers crossed for the rest!

Hi everyone. I just wanted you to know that Starr's urinalysis results were normal so he's finally off of any kind of medication. I'll continue to give him the bene-bac every 3 days for a while. The litterboxes didn't have any diarrhea or mushy poos in them this morning and the slightly mushy poops tonight were much more formed than before so I know that Starr's doing and feeling much better. Thanks again for all of your concerns.

Oh- this is REALLY good news!

Now this calls for new Starr pictures

I'm glad to hear Starr has improved, and hope he'll continue to get better! To pill a cat can be hard work, and I agree that it's best to it when you're both relaxed!

Kisses and scritchies from me.

I'm so glad to hear the good news Tracey!

Thanks everyone. Starr started having more runny diarrhea again. Tonight he was using the litterbox while I was home and I could hear him squirting it out. I gave him more bene-bac tonight even though it says to give it every 3 days. I'm also going to start giving him yogurt daily too. If after 2 weeks he still hasn't improved then we'll start him on a new diet. I've already spoken to the vet about this. I sure hope that something will help my baby boy.

Prayers for Starr.

Tracey, I know how draining this can be when you worry over your kitties.

I hope Starr will respond soon to the meds and be his old self again.

Well this morning Starr managed to poop in the hallway, kitchen, and both living room and dining room. Some of it was very mushy and some was somewhat formed. If this contniues, I know I won't be able to wait 2 weeks before trying a new food for him. It's just so frustrating to see some improvement and then to go back to square one in a matter of days. Thanks for the continued prayers.
