Talons at it again
ok, so does anyone have a pet that is CONSTANTLY sick, for the DUMBEST reason?
heres the story, last year a few months after I moved to Virginia, one of my cats I'd brought with me had 5 kittens.
they'll be a year old on the 25th of this month.
I remember their birth as though it was yesterday, they were born inside, they went in this order, Grizzly,Graci,Tyson,Talon and finally sicily, everything went smoothly with the birth except for Sicily who was breach, AND stuck in the birth canal, so was pretty much dead when she was born, we brought her back though.
they stayed pretty healthy up til about 5 weeks, when one of our other young cats brought a URI into the house, everyone in the litter cought it, they went to the vet, got antibiotics and cleared up within a week, all except, for Talon, he stayed sick(did I mention his eyes opened at THREE days old?). he went back to the vet several times, and cleared up after a few MONTHS, everyone else was healthy, at 3 months old, they became too much for their aging mom,(who was already about 8 years old) this was an UNPLANNED litter, she was due to be spayed a few weeks after I moved, but she got pregnant a few days before I moved, under my moms watch.
anyways, they went outside, everyone was healthy, even talon, then he came up sick, AGAIN, got him on antibiotics, for literally 3 or so months he was sick, then he got better, and stayed pretty healthy up all winter long, and now, he's sick, AGAIN, none of his other littermates are,Grizzly,Sicily and Graci are perfectly heathy(tyson is no longer with us thanks to a darn fox).
and we've figured out WHY talon is ALWAYS sick, I've always questioned his...smartyness, but this cat will SIT in the pouring rain, and stare into space for HOURS, doesn't bother to dry himself off, and just sits, and stares, then HE acts like he wonders why he feels icky. so another vet trip is in order the next few days
I love my cats to death, but I'm wondering if the inbreeding back in WV has destroyed the lines brains forever
