Stiff joints

[ja9390]

This probably has more to do with age than it does with diabetes, but Diego is noticeably stiff in the legs upon waking up and walking around. He walks with a different gait and straighter legs with less flexion at the joints, which corrects itself as time passes once he wakes up some more and walks around more.

I have read studies regarding the human intake of glucosamine and chondroitin to correct or lessen the effects of joint pain/arthritis. What they are finding now is that it may not even do anything to help, so I have been hesitant to buy a supplement for him that may not work. What does everyone else do here about stiff cat joints? I would like to do something to help if I can.

adequan injections are amazing--my 2 run around and play and we have 3 flights of stairs....they are 16 and 17
Loading dose is a shot every 4 days for 8 shots then 1 shot a month or as close as 1 shot a week.... we do 1 every Sunday as they are teens
Can be given SQ or IM--we do SQ
krill oil helps too-as well as essential fatty acids.
