Hi all!

I was wondering what if anything some of you used for your seniors. Both my sugar and civvie are senior. Civvie is 16. LM is now 14. I was thinking about trying to find a supplement that would help with stiffness, but be sugar cat friendly.

Civvie is well a pill to pill lol. Im very happy she is not my sigar cat, i fear id have battle wounds daily from testing and shooting. Ahe is not a good patient So a sprinkle on or something of the like would be helpful especially for her.

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Hope everyone has been having a great weekend

Hello Rainbow! Bella seems to be doing better since we started Adequan. I give her SC injections every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how she is. It's glucosamine, so it helps with arthritis pain, stiffness and all that. She does not limp anymore but her joints click when she walks. I am not sure if that will make it better, we'll see.
You can also get it in powder (glucosamine, I mean, not Adequan per se): green-lipped mussel extract. I will try that when I am done with my vial of Adequan, it's less expensive. I tried CDB oil too, she did well on that but she was kind of sleepy

Hi Rain this is what I've been using for Tyler for about 3 years now only because I saw that when he was was laying down and went to get up it looked like to me he had some stiffness like you mentioned . Never ever raised his BG and as you know he's been in remission since 1-24-21 and it definitely helped him. You can get it at any local pet store ,Petco, pet smart, doesn't have to be bought online. I just sprinkle the capsule on his wet food, add some water and mix it up, he never tastes it in his food. Just follow the directions

What does Boswellia do for cats?
Boswellia for dogs and cats plays an important role in maintaining healthy joint function, which can impact a pet's everyday life. Boswellia has been used for thousands of years and has over 400 independent clinical studies supporting its use.

There is also now an injection called Solensia available in the US for arthritis in cats.
