Wednesday's kitty is full of woe
Muffin is doing okayish. She's 14 so old age is setting in. She is still limping and still not wanting to go downstairs to use the litter box so we have one upstairs, and sadly she has to put up with all of the able body kitties using it.
We haven't figured out exactly why she is limping but we suspect arthritis. Nothing showed up on the x-rays, but the vet said it doesn't until it is bad.
I gave her some Cosequin and some hyaluronic acid for a few weeks without noticeable improvement, so I ordered some Adaquan for her. We are into week two on that, and so far she's still limping and I don't see improvement, but I'm hopeful in a few more weeks we will.

I hope the Adaquan works for Muffin!
ReplyDeleteI hope the vet finds something that will work for you sweetie pie.

I hope you start to feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteoh Muffin.....we hope your mom finds something that helps you out (maybe one of those nice self warming beds we hear about - MOL)
ReplyDeleteMuffin's a beautiful girl. Hopefully she'll feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSweet Muffin, we hope you begin to feel better and that your limp is just a sore muscle or tendon. Our Mom, who just learned what arthritis on a kitty X-ray looks like (Sunny has it), didn't see anything on yours that looks obvious. Sending purrs!
ReplyDeleteMuffin is a sweety! I hope you find a way to cure her limp; have you thought about a animal chiropractor for her?
ReplyDeleteWe hope the Adequan helps her. It's been very helpful for Benny, but he wasn't limping though.
ReplyDeleteYour cats are gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteFeel better pretty girl!
ReplyDeleteBut she is lovely!! We're dealing with arthritis here too, for Toby. Leia doesn't seem to be affected yet. I went through three months of Depo but the last shot didn't help as much. So we are just about to start Meloxicam drops.
ReplyDeleteI hope Muffin feels better soon!
ReplyDeletePoor Muffin. We hope the adequan helps.
ReplyDeleteOh, and from what we've learned, it may take as long as 4-6 weeks to see any benefits from giving the glucosamine supplement.
DeletePoor Muffin , I hope you can find something that will help her.
ReplyDeletePain sucks in humans and kitties, just saying although in one of those photos I thought you were in a saucepan ready to be cooked which was disturbing
ReplyDeleteI hope the Adequan works for you, Miss Muffin, as it has for Rene's Benny. You are a sweetie.
