A friend of mine has a 13 year old cat with arthritis in his front legs. He appears limping and uncomfortable. Our Vet stated nothing can be done to help with the chronic discomfort he is experiencing. Has anyone had any luck with a natural supplement or a medication that can help alleviate some of his pain?

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

I know on the online UK vet pharmacy sites there are lots of supplements for arthritis. Things like glucosamine and green lipped mussel can also help, but dont know if you can use human doses on cats, I know you can on dogs. Good luck.

My 10 yo cat has arthritis and I give her Cosequin. I buy it at Drs. Foster & Smith. She gets 1 capsule 2x a day, and she's a totally different cat since she's been taking them.
