Body Sore for Cats

My Abysinnian cat has advanced stage patella luxation which is probably arthritic now as well. Her movement has been curtailed and she limps with her hind legs. My vet prescribed Body Sore and Tendon/Ligament herbal supplements from Dr. Xie Jin Tang. It's been a week and I don't see much improvement, in fact, she seems slightly more stiff. Does it take more time to see results?

It probably does take an herbal supplement longer to work than other medicines.  Don't know anything about those supplements, though.  A luxating patella is not easy to cure, I think usually surgery is tried if someone is willing to go to such lengths.  Maybe those will ease the situation.  My vet uses a laser and it seems to work.  Maybe you could call around and see if any of your local vets have a laser system.

Arthritis, in my dog's back, was how I learned about how effective veterinary laser work can be.

Hi and welcome, just a suggestion that you post your question on the Cat Health forum, the Vet there is holistic...just may take a few days for a reply but worth the wait to get her opinion..

My cat is almost 12 and the vet suggested that surgery is a last resort due to the risks. What does your vet treat with laser?
