Help My Cat

What can I give my cat for pain? I believe she is having some arthritic issues, especially in her hind legs. She's beginning to walk more on her hind hocks instead of her paws.

Walking on the hocks is a sign of weakness! She could have a number of conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, or other electrolyte abnormalities. You should have your veterinarian take look at her and run some blood work ASAP!

how old is she? are you certain its arthritic issues? has she seen a Vet? there are some prescription meds they can prescribe but you need to know for sure what is causing the pain....
