Treatments for Arthritis in Cats



Arthritis is a very painful disease that affects cats just like it affects dogs. Unfortunately, there aren’t as many options out there in terms of medications for arthritic cats.Is the arthritis in the hip joint? If so, there is a surgical procedure that can be done that removes the hip joint and the cat will form a false joint. If not, medications may be the only answer.
You should definitely keep your cat on the glucosamine liquid, but other things need to be added. Steroid shots may help, but only temporarily. When used long-term they unfortunately have bad side effects.
