Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease that can seriously affect a cat’s health and well-being. OA can hinder a cat’s ability to jump, climb, run, or even walk.
There is a new medication that will soon be available specifically to address OA. Solensia helps control the pain, enabling them to move about more freely. This medication works like a cat’s antibodies to reduce pain signals. It is a biologic medication (a protein, not a chemical). [1]
The staff at Healing Springs Animal Hospital is watching the information on this medication closely and feel it could be a game changer. Make sure to ask about how to help your cats get back to their “normal” selves.
