I think even a fully ruptured cruciate can heal, but I think a brace probably only necessary in the bigger guys who can't carry a leg well and not use it.
Antibiotics and work in the same sentence. Yeah, they make it seem like they do. Powerful drugs that the vital force must pay attention to, so symptom making falls off for a spell.
Common in cats with inflamed bladders. Almost every one is sterile when cultured, but their symptoms disappear after the usual antibiotics are given. No bacteria before or after, but now symptoms subsided. Cured? Nope.
