I was looking for a new arthritis product for Vyktor as he has been stiffening up again since I stopped giving him the human product I was giving him (because it was sweetened with fructose) and I found this...
"Why is Joint Guard unique for Cats?
Joint Guard is a nutritional supplement that has been developed using purified ingredients clinically proven at this exact dose and ratio to be effective in the treatment of joint problems due to arthritic conditions, injury or general wear and tear.
IMPORTANT! Joint Guard for Cats is the ONLY arthritis product approved for use in cats by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority.
Joint Guard for Cats not only contains highly potent Glucosamine hydrochloride and Chondroitin sulfate that you would find in human arthritis products, but it is formulated using a dose specific to cats that has been clinically tested to ensure the product is safe. The formulation also contains MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) a natural sulphur-based ingredient that has been shown to help reduce the pain associated with inflammation, at the right dose for cats.
It is important not to substitute Joint Guard for Cats with human arthritis products available from the chemist as these products do not contain the active ingredients at the correct ratio for cats. For example oversupplementation of Glucosamine has been suspected of causing Feline Diabetes".
It would be quite a coincidence if the product I was giving Vyktor isn't responsible for his diabetes as he had almost finished his first tub when he was diagnosed. I stopped giving him the human stuff at the same time as I stopped feeding him canned cereal and his drinking and weeing subsequently decreased a lot. Neither vet I have seen about Vyktor's diabetes (both of whom I mentioned the arthritis product to) mentioned anything about this problem with using human product, nor have I seen this mentioned anywhere in any of my feline diabetes research so I suspect it is not widely known and I wanted to warn you guys.
