Star Update

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on what to do with my little Star.

I just wanted to post an update because I am so excited.

I took Star to the vet this afternoon because her stool was still mushy.

The doctor checked her all over and said that she looked and sounded very healthy. They ran a fecal test to check for parasites and Coccidia.
Everything came back negative.
He did say that sometimes you can get a false neg with Coccidia so I will watch her for a few days. He gave me a standing perscription for the Albon. He said that if she does not get better and continues to have the mushy stools to come in and pick the prescription up and keep her on it for 10 days. He really does not think that I will see that though.

She also weighs a whopping 3lbs 4ozs. In 4 weeks she has gained 1 pound. Yeah Star!!!!

We have discovered one sad thing. She gets mildly carsick. If anyone has any suggestions for helping her get through this I would greatly appreciate it. I want to make sure to take her places and to socialize her but I do not want to make her miserable either.
