Natural Ways to Treat Arthritis in Cats


If your cat has developed arthritis then he may be showing signs of immobility in the backend. He could move slower when getting up and down or start to have difficulties getting in and out of the litter box. Arthritis causes inflammation to the joints. It often occurs as a cat ages, but it can also occur when a cat is younger. Most treatment plans include NSAIDs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. However, if you don’t want to give medication, talk with your vet or a homeopathic vet about herbal and supplemental options. Some veterinarians will suggest adding supplement such as Glucosamine, Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Selenium, and MSM to the diet to decrease inflammation. Herbal based medications may also be prescribed. You will need to be the judge of whether your cat is showing signs of improvement or not on these alternative treatments. Remember to always consult with your pet clinic Rochester, NY before giving meds to your cat.
