Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005Cosequin for Cats
I have a 19 yr. old cat who is no longer as sprightly as a kitten. My vet suggested Cosequin. Does anyone have any experience with this or other arthritis remedies? Thanks Dave M. > I have a 19 yr. old cat who is no longer as sprightly as a kitten. My vet > suggested Cosequin.

Hi Dave, I would suggest you try this product first: http://www.designinghealth.com/products/feline_products_main.html I have a cat with chronic renal failure who has benefited enourmously with this product, my vet is amazed at his health considering his kidney problem. My sister decided she'd give it a go with her 18 year old arthritic Siamese who has also shown dramatic health improvements and doesn't creak around the house anymore. Troy. Troy, Thanks for the recommendation but I can't seem to make this web site work well. When I click on joint stiffness I get sent to a page that does not discuss joint stiffness. When I click on The Scientific Corner I get sent to a page that does not contain any science info. So I've no way to evaluate this product other than your second hand testimonial. Still the "Ask the Vet" is useful. I'll see what the vet has to say. Cosequin is also a dietary supplement but there is actual research which supports it's use for joint stiffness. I was hoping for first person accounts of the good or the bad associated with it's use. Dave M. > I have a 19 yr. old cat who is no longer as sprightly as a kitten. My > vet [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks > Dave M. Cosequin is an excellent suggestion. It is safe and has a good track record. Some cats have also responded well to Adequan. I don't have any personal experience with either, but I have talked to people with a lot of experience with cat rescue who have used both. MaryL MaryL, Has Adequan been approved for cats? Dave M. >MaryL, > > Has Adequan been approved for cats? It's an off-label use, but it's been doing wonders for my little rescue boy. He was diagnosed with grade 4 luxating patellas at 5 months of age, and he's been gettin Adequan shots every five days and Cosequin every night. It has taken him from the point of 'kitten hobbling around painfully and as little as possible' to 'almost normal kitten running around'. He doesn't jump well, but that's mostly because his hind legs' muscles are very underdeveloped because he has never been able to use them much. That'll hopefully change after his surgery.

I don't have any The formula seems to be basically the same as the over-the-counter human glucosamine and chondroitin remedies, which have a very good track record from what I understand. How come this one is Rx only? ;-)  SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com |
