In November when we had Jessica at the vet for her annual check up and boosters, he noted that she was flinching when he felt along her spine. We don't really know how old Jessica is, but she is certainly at least 16 and probably older.
The vet recommended that we might want to try her on Seraquin which is a joint supplement for animals affected by arthritis. I have to say that Jessica does not display any symptoms of stiffness that we have noticed, but she definitely was reacting when the vet felt along her spine, so we got the tablets to see whether they had an effect. Seraquin is not a drug and would not be harmful to the other cats if they took it.
She has been taking it now for just over a month, and it does seem to be having an effect. She looks a little more bouncy when she walks and she seems to wrestle even more than before. The carpet has been covered in clumps of fur every morning.
Has anyone else used Seraquin for their cats?
