Speaking of Pets we had the weirdest thing happen in our household: our cat was sick for six months and spontaneously recovered.

it is the weirdest thing, I’m still shaking my head over it and discussing with DH.

The long and short of it is, he’s been sick for six months as evidenced by lethargy. The vet theorized he was having joint pain be ause the vet could see his muscles in back legs had deteriorated. We treated him once a month with a pain blocker. That did not seem to affect him and After three months of the inoculations I stopped it. His health did not change and he was still not moving around much. I know he was in pain because every once in a while, we would touch him and he would cry.

and then one day he just became more active. His activity level has ncreased since then. He’s now pretty much back to normal.

This is a 7 year old cat, not an old guy. During his six months of illness he was eating, drinking, using the litter box, and grooming himself. But he did not feel good, and that was obvious. I was starting to entertain the notion of next step being euthanasia, and one complicated factor is he absolutely hates going to the vet as evidenced by vomiting and pooping in his carrier every time we go there. It is a seven minute journey so it’s not like he has to travel long in the car.

and then I had the brilliant idea of having the mobile vet pay a visit to him and maybe starting up the pain inoculation again. And that was about the time that he came out of his funk and got back to normal.

I just wish they could talk and tell me what’s wrong with them.
