Jack is on medical leave

Just when we all were worrying about Chewie's condition (the humans, for some reason were very angry and I heard lots of swearing and cursing), Jack had to go on medical leave and add to HC's worries.

Yesterday, we were napping the entire day while HC is at work. When she got back home, we were as usual very happy and bouncing about. It was then that I realised that Jack is not using his front right leg. Within half hour, we were whisked off to the vet.

After some checking by the vet, it was suspected that his arthritis is acting up, and he was given a shot of cartrophven. I can see the vet looking through Jack's medical records which is a few pages long (hehehe). The bad news is that barely six months ago, Jack had the same limping problem. HC now has to monitor to see if the limping/aching comes more frequently, and if it did, an X-ray and alternative treatment may be needed.

Let's pray for Jack's and Chewie's speedy recovery.
