Feline osteoarthritis (OA) is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition that can significantly impact a cat’s quality of life. The pain associated with OA can manifest as reduced mobility, difficulty jumping, or changes in behavior. Fortunately, Solensia, a once-monthly injectable medication, offers a breakthrough solution for controlling osteoarthritis pain in cats.
How Does Solensia Work?
Solensia works by targeting a specific protein, nerve growth factor (NGF), that is central to the pain pathways in osteoarthritis. By neutralizing NGF, Solensia effectively reduces pain signals, allowing cats to move more comfortably and live with less discomfort. Studies have shown that the majority of cat owners noticed significant improvement in their pets’ mobility, activity levels, and overall demeanor after starting Solensia.
Helping Maintain Mobility
This treatment is particularly important for cats with unique challenges. For example, our cat, Tripod, has back and hip arthritis, and as a three-legged cat, he places extra weight and strain on his single back leg. This has made managing his arthritis pain crucial for maintaining his mobility and independence. Since starting Solensia, Tripod’s improvement has been remarkable—he moves with greater ease and seems far more comfortable navigating his environment.
However, Solensia isn’t just for cats with additional challenges like Tripod; it can benefit able-bodied cats too. Whether it’s an older feline showing subtle signs of stiffness or a younger one recovering from joint issues, Solensia offers a safe and effective solution. Administered once a month by a veterinarian, the treatment is convenient and stress-free for both cats and their owners.
