My cat was given two doses of Adequan at the vet's office and began throwing up yellow fluids. After another trip to her vet and costly tests, she had pancreatitis. Whether or not this was caused by the Adequan, we will never know. I made the decision to stop the medication. After several months...
Of those three, Adequan is the only one that contains a joint supplement that might help her to not get worse. the other two are mainly for pain control.
Hi. Have the vets mentioned Adequan? It is injectable like Solensia but consists of different drugs and works a bit differently than Solensia. It also contains a joint supplement and has been around a lot longer than Solensia.
Some cats are getting both Solensia and Adequan, so another consideration. As far as the injury, there could be nerve damage which is along the lines of a neurological issue. Something else you can talk to the vet about.
What have you tried for your cat's arthritis so far? Before using red light therapy on your cat you may want to check with your vet as a precaution.
ETA: I just noticed your post on the Solensia thread and saw your cat is on Adequan.
...19yo, has been on it for almost a year.
I'm not sure if it's working, but she's not getting worse.
Some days are better than others, but she does walk around.
She is also on Adequan.
So maybe it's helping her to NOT get worse, but it's not like many stories I've heard/read.
Also giving her...
...keep getting Solensia injections, perhaps she could benefit from an appetite stimulant. There is also another arthritic pain blocker, called Adequan, that might be a replacement option. Unlike Solensia, Adequan also contains a joint supplement.

...that can colonize in the bladder to cause infections. She has only had one UTI since I started giving it to her 3 years ago.
As far as the Adequan - it never hurts to ask the vets about it. It also is used not just for arthritic pain, but it can be beneficial to the bladder as well - and it...
Very interesting! She wants to eat but then only eats a couple of bits. We also started giving her a pepcid, which the vet recommended. Maybe that will help.
This is great! I have D mannose caps for myself. They do culture it but it clears then comes back :( How much do you give your kitty? Will def ask about the med, thank you!
If the pins are in place, does that mean she went through at least some x-rays? Did the vet mention anything about some arthritis setting in? Adequan or Solensia are both geared toward pain related to arthritis, the former one also has a joint supplement in it.
Have you consulted with a vet...
Hi. You are giving her the two pain meds (Solensia and Adequan) intended to help with arthritis already. You can add joint supplements as mentioned above, but I am not sure what your goal is for Sandy? What exactly do you mean by 'good some days, not so good some days'?
Do you think she is in...
After doing lots of research I've come to the conclusion that my 17 yr old Jengo, who has CKD, has arthritis. I would like to get him on some medication to help relieve the pain but I'm finding negative reviews on the two most common drugs. Would like some input from those of you who have used...
...so can't help there. Have you considered consulting with a vet who specializes in ophthalmology?
For the arthritis, talk to the vet about Adequan or Solensia. Both are injections for arthritis. Cosequin and another common oral joint supplement, called Dasuquin, contain shellfish...
...having an itchy reaction to them, so I stopped. I also tried Noden's liquid joint supplement but wasn't really sure how effective it was.
There is also Adequan - another injection. Both Solensia and Adequan are pain blockers for arthritis, but I believe Adequan also contains a joint supplement.
In addition to Solensia, there is also Adequan. Both are injectable pain blockers for arthritis that work in different ways, but the latter also contains a joint support supplement.
