Examples: Stairs or a ramp up to your bed and the couch. Raise food bowls to shoulder height, having to lower their heads to eat is sometimes painful. Get self heating beds/mats. Heat is great for achy bones and muscles. Use plywood to make stairs into and out of your house shorter. It's jarring to go up and down tall stairs for potty breaks.

You want the step to be shorter so they don't have to lift up, or step down from as high as a "standard" step.) has lots of all natural, herbal supplements. Good luck to you.

These days there should be something they can do? Get a second opinion if that is she wants to continue with her sports. I had to give up track and I was very good at it (held up the number one spot all through in middle school and was told it was still there when I graduated, lettered my freshmen year). Do not give up!! There has to be something better these days that can be done!! Good luck and I sure wish her the best! I too was athletic back then and arthritic….

]]> Comment on What kind of pain reliever can you give a cat with arthritis? by wherewhenwhatwhywho http://arthritisquestions.org/what-kind-of-pain-reliever-can-you-give-a-cat-with-arthritis-2.html/comment-page-1#comment-1174 wherewhenwhatwhywho Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:22:15 +0000 http://arthritisquestions.org/what-kind-of-pain-reliever-can-you-give-a-cat-with-arthritis-2.html#comment-1174 I have been giving my 19 year old cat Syn Flex. A year ago she came down with arthritis so bad I thought she would have to be put down. Now she actually runs around and plays. It takes a little while to start working and you have to give it every day but it really does work. Another herbal product I gave my cat was called "Dog gone pain" For cats and dogs. It works faster and you can use it until the Syn flex starts to work. I have been giving my 19 year old cat Syn Flex.

I started feeding her Science Diet J/D a couple years ago & the food, exercise, plus coated aspirin has helped her more than the prescription meds did with less side effects. She'll never be puppy-like, but she does well keeping up with the rest of our dogs during our 3 mile walks. It's very important to keep her active even if it's just a short walk everyday especially with the cold weather coming. Hope some of these ideas help.
