Tubby gets one capsule of Cosequin a day, and I have noticed a difference since I've been giving it to him.

Laura, Cosequin is for the joints, I really don't believe it would have any effect on Amy. I know you're always looking for something that would help her, but I don't think this is what you're looking for.

Sammy, my Tubby is a little over 18 now, almost as old as your Bear. Catsnclay is another here that has her senior cat on Cosequin and I remember she said she has noticed a difference also. I still notice times when Tubby has some difficulty with his back legs, but I do see a difference in him since taking the Cosequin.

Good luck with Bear, and if possible, we'l love to see a pic of her. Any kitty that makes it to almost 19 deserves to have her picture plastered all over the net.
