Adequan Usage for Arthritis in an Older Cat

Doc Pawsitive sees a tremendous number of older pets at the PAWS Veterinary Clinic and older pets certainly are predisposed to arthritis! When it comes to dogs with arthritisis there are lots of choices when it comes to therapeutic management, with NSAIDS, steroids, glucosamine/chondroitin supplements, Prescription J/D Joint Diet, laser therapy, weight management and more! However as cats have a dramatically different metabolism than dogs, many of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are not approved for use in cats. In this video, Doc discusses Adequan, an injectable arthritis therapy that works very well in cats in conjunction with weight loss, dietary management with Prescription J/D and a good glucosamine/chonroitin supplement.
