    Nancy said the pain she feels is not sudden sharp pain as in falling over because when she falls, sometimes, it is very hard and I thought that might have been was she was referring to. It is all over acheing like a person would have with arthritis all over their body.

    I did a acupuncture search in the place you posted krazyaboutkatz, didn't find one anywhere near us. I checked out the TTouch you posted Lizzie, that is worth looking into. I may just order one of those books and give that a try. What exactly is the Cosequin for and what is it? (anti inflamantory? Pain med?)

    Medusa, I have found that doing any kind of therapy that invloves moveing her joints only make them stiffer and harder for her to get around for 3 to 4 days. At one time I thought working them would make them more flexable and tried it only to discover it made her worse. Every new vet that would see her, the first thing they would do is to work her back legs looking for range of motion and signs of pain. That would leave her about crippled completely for those next days, that I no longer allow them to do that anymore.

    I am so outdone that she is in so much pain, it rips my heart right out of me to know that now. It is so damp and cold here (colder than we are use to in the deep south) that she is having a awful time getting around and she just looks so miserable in her eyes. That is why I suspected she was in pain, especially in the winter months, because of the miserable look in her eyes and the difficulty she has in getting around. After the reading, I sent Nancy Amy's You Tube video's so she could see how this CH effects her and maybe she could get a better understanding of it.

    Cosaquin is the brand name of glucosamine.

    I am so sorry that Amy is having such problems. Would it help her to wear a sweater or a jacket to help keep her warm?

    Laura ~ I'm in tears thinking of Amy being in pain.

    Cammie has arthritis and has minor pain. But, she's around 14 or so.
    A snuggle safe really, really helps her. I nuke it and put it under a towel for her at night and she sleeps on it and seems to be a lot less stiff in the morning. Then I nuke it again, so she can sleep on it anytime during the day. It stays warm for 8 to 10 hours. It might help Amy on the cold days.

    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Laura, I'm so sorry for Amy! To be this young and in pain is so horrible.

    The first thing I thought after reading your post was to try glucosamine, but always check with your vet first! Also, adding some type of warming device like kuhio98 mentioned below would probably also help.

    If you want to read more on glucosamine and alternative care check this site:

    Russian Blue, is that sight for humans or animals supplements?

    I think that's human supplements, that's why I said check with your vet first. I only noted the site for additional info. Glucosamine is used for both human and pet but just at different dosage rates.

    Here's another site with more specific info:

    Laura, I feel your pain for Amy! It hurts us just as much when they aren't feeling well.

    Nancy is just the best.

    I hope some of the suggestions that have been offered will help Amy.

    Lisa - can it be warmed in the oven (I don't have a microwave oven), the sites I've visited don't say? It would be great for Ginger who is well on her way to turning 22 and who sits so close to the heat vent, I'm afraid she is going to burn herself without realizing it.

    Laura - can it be that Amy has more than one medical problem and the pain is coming from another disorder?

    No. It cannot be put in a regular oven. It is like a big, double-sided plastic frisbee. It will melt in an oven.
