Great news! Maybe there's more progress ahead...

Hooray for Sheba feeling better. We are very glad.
Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we came, to the stars we return from now until the end of time "CATherine" wrote in message ... I woke up this morning to a strange sound. But it was a bit familiar at the same time. I thought, "Wot the heck?" I rose up out of bed and peered over the foot.....and saw Sheba vigorously scratching her cardboard scratcher for the first time in six months! Her neuropathy is healed! She no longer walks like Robocop! Hurray!! I had been told neuropathy is nerve damage and didn't heal. But maybe she didn't have it long enough to be permanent. Her diabetes is under control and her weight is now hovering around eleven pounds and she looks good. The only problem is she still pulls clumps of hair off her sides. That is from stress, maybe. And maybe partly to get rid of some of the excessive unshed hair she couldn't groom for so long. I will brush her ever so often and get clumps off. But maybe the pulling sensation relieves itchy skin. Maybe she needs a bath. Yeah, right! :-)) CATherine |

I am so glad for her too! Sometimes cats surprise the doctors. Herbie
(RB) was once hit by a car and his leg was injured. Several weeks after the accident, he was still limping. The doctor said the nerves had been damaged, and he would always have a limp, but that he wasn't in pain. Once I knew he wasn't in pain, I stopped worrying about it. I guess I also stopped babying him. Anyway, within two weeks, the limp was gone, and it never came back. -- Joy "CATherine" wrote in message ... I woke up this morning to a strange sound.

Interesting what one learns by accident on newsgroups. |

Re the hair pulling thing - Pea tugs the fur from the base of his tail every summer, which I'm certain is due to allergy. So maybe Sheba does have an itch. Brenda |

How wonderful. Some types of nerve damage do not heal. Others, usually due to an
injury can heal and it usually takes about six months. (been there had that) Fur pulling is likely what you said. We did have a cat who every spring pulled fur out of his (damaged) back right hip. It was as thought the combination of injury and allergy got into it in the spring. Every spring he got a cortisone shot that cleared it right up. -- Jo Firey "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
