A couple of days ago my 12 yr old kitty ran to jump on her kitty condo and fell off landing on her hip, which resulted in her dragging her hind leg when trying to walk. We raced her to the 24 hour emergency vet and she was diagnosed with severe arthritis in her hips and knees. They gave her Gabapentin 100mg capsules and told us to "watch her" and make sure she didn't jump on things. Also to get her on some sort of pain management and weight loss diet. She's 13 lbs. She recently saw our regular vet and got a clean bill of health. My question is, does anyone have any hopefully positive input on treating arthritic cats? What has worked for you, what supplements or meds have been helpful. Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated. My kitties (4) are my children, and they are the world to me. Seeing her in such pain is horrific. The first evening she got a full dosage of the pain meds and it wiped her out, so I've been trying a half dose as they suggested. She just doesn't seem to be feeling any better.
