Does Your Cat Hurt? How to Tell and What to Do. #petlongevity #cat #cathealth

Is your cat in daily pain? I think veterinarians many times miss this as part of their examinations, but here are two ways that you can tell whether your best friend hurts at home. First off, if they hesitate to jump from the floor to the sofa, they're telling you that they're likely painful in their spine or their hind legs. If they hesitate to jump off the bed or off the table, they're not just having a bad day, they're telling you that their front limb hurts, most commonly their wrist or their elbow. And if your cat is painful, here are couple things that you can do. First off, understand that every ounce of extra weight worsens your cat pain— cat's pain. So a thin cat is a less painful cat. Secondly, understand that glucosamine and chondroitin does not work in either humans or in pets to alleviate joint inflammation. What does work to help your cat's pain? Fish oil supplementation for one, and the other is undenatured type 2 collagen, or UC2. Listen, we sell it as Transcend, but you can find it in a lot of different places, and it comes as a capsule containing a powder you can just simply twist open and dump into your cat's food. And if they actually need pain-relieving drugs, understand that most oral pain relievers can create kidney problems in your cat. The best product at this point, Solensia injections.
