Biddy 2/22 PMPS 79

I'm thinking of getting him braces to help him walk and hopefully be able to build up more muscle. His doctor wants to try Acetyl-L-Carnitine to see if that helps his neuropathy. Have you heard anything of this supplement helping?

Oh, I feel so sad to think he’s having that much trouble walking. That’s very innovative of your vet. I personally take Acetyl L-Carnotine, but I have never considered using it in a cat. That doesn’t mean it can’t be beneficial for cats. There’s a lot of information out there I see about supplementing with Acetyl L-Carnitine. Here’s one I found.

Was he doing better on the Solensia?

What kind of braces? How do you size them? How do they work?
 
I think his arthritis was being managed by the Solensia but we consulted Zoetis and they said they wouldn’t recommend using it if he has neuropathy.

I think these are the ones I’m going to get. We have a patient at the clinic that wears some at home. They will be in tomorrow for his weekly laser treatment so I plan to ask what brand they use for him.
