Does anyone have experience of Seraquin?

Karen, I don't know anything about Seraquin, but it sounds harmless from what you describe.

I'm glad that Jessica seems more bouncy, but I hope she's not getting into too many fights!

Give her some kisses from me, please!

I have no idea what it is- but whatever helps Jessica to bounce sounds good. I may check it out for myself

Edit: Have you seen they have a website www.seraquin.co.uk in which they tell you what's in it: Glucosamine (heard that before for joints), Chondroitin and Curcumin? By looking for the ingredients you should be able to get more information.

Edit: I checked the glucosamine and chondroitin on German Wikipedia. They talked about a blind study in the US that was neutral and showed NO significant effects on arthritic joints

Hi Karen!!
Glad to hear that the supplement is helping your girl. Our Norton, at 17, takes DASUQUIN in the am for achy old bones. Maybe what you have is the same thing, but the UK version!

Thanks Barbara, I had a look at that link about the trials that had been carried out. They concluded that the glucosamine and chondroitin did not help severe joint pain, but that it did have an effect on milder pain. I really don't think that Jessica has severe pain. I know that cats hide it from you, but she still wrestles daily and jumps up on the window ledge, so I will probably keep giving her the tablets anyway and see how she gets on.

I think you are right Sandra, that Dasequin looks to have a similar make-up. Has Norton started wrestling more overnight?

Actually, we started Norton on Cosaquin(sp) because it helps with the bladder muscles. Now he just gets the Dasequin to keep him limber. He does not wrestle, but every now and then, Norton TEARS thru the house at an incredible speed!!!
