In reply to Ann. Hi Anne. I’ll definitely allow this comment just to point out that every new product has “[insert new product] killed my [insert species]” webpages and Facebook groups. I strongly believe it’s more about the nature of the internet than the nature of these products, unless they are all doing it! My opinion is that many animals are deprived of effective remedies through scare campaigns.

There is a Facebook group called Solensia Killed My Cat. It’s worth taking a look at. I just joined the group because I do my research. I hope you will allow this comment so that others can learn from it. Thank you.

In reply to Liz. Hi Liz. You'll find a link to a longer article about Solensia in the text above. I would definitely try it if your vet also agrees.

My cat is 22 and has very bad arthritis for a number of years. She was on medication and it helped but recently it has got much much worse. A friend has suggested trying Solensia as it helped her 12 year old cat. Our vet and ourselves think our wonderful Juno is near the end of life. Should we suggest using Solensia?

My first cat had arthritis from the age of 11, and lived half of her life with it.
When it was cold, she even cried because of pain.
Unfortunately there aren’t much decent cure to give cat reliefs.

We found she had arthritis only when she was 14 years old (overweight and with folded ears, a great combination).

In reply to Pat Stearn. Hi Pat. The injections will be pentosan polysulfate. My next move would be either meloxicam or gabapentin, but ask your vet for local advice.

My 16 year old cat has been on Tramadol Transdermal for at least 12 months and six monthly injections x 4 of something else. She has recently got worse with her hissing whenever we try to pick her up. She is obviously in a lot of pain. What would you suggest the next move to be?

In reply to Yvonne richards. Hi Yvonne. I have never seen a cat stop eating from arthritis so I would worry that there's another cause waiting to be found. You've done everything right- it can just be very hard sometimes to see the problem. I would take him back for another look, or more testing.

My cat is acting really strange.He has arthritis and is nearly 12 years old.
For the last 2 weeks he’s been over pruning him self all the time and now he hardly eats..I have tried everything including different foods and biscuits and this Rose hip powder.The vets give him arthertis injection once a fortnight but not anti inflammatory why I don’t know.?
He’s had full blood test and all ok just his protein is low and needs to eat other wise his body mass will break down.
Can you give me a reason why he’s not eatting..Getting worried.Do you think he needs an ultra sound,??
