Nothing we can do about it.
I can't give him a pill.
If your an owner of an adult or senior cat, I bet you've said at least one of those lines a time or two.
Aging is not a disease and pain does not have to be the new normal.
Meet Max. A 14 yr old with Arthritis. As you can see in this video, Max wasn't very eager to get anywhere fast. OA pain kept him in the slow lane and unable to to be the curious kitty he once was. Gaining weight from lack of activity and difficulty jumping up to look out that sunny window or to snuggle on the bed, Max had succumbed to a slow life on the floor.
UNTIL......... Solensia. An injectable monoclonal antibody therapy administered monthly to control feline osteoarthritis (OA) pain. While cat OA isn’t curable, the pain from OA can now be effectively managed.

Today is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day!
August 22, 2022, is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, a day that serves as an important reminder to all cat owners to schedule their cat's routine wellness check-up. While it's easy for pet owners to skip an annual veterinary visit if their cat is healthy and happy, they are critical to preventive care and catching diseases early. Following are five great reasons cat owners should be very consistent about taking their cat to the veterinarian every year.
1. Cats are Incredibly Stoic Creatures
Cats have a reputation for being very good at hiding signs and symptoms of illness, often physically hiding when they feel ill. A cat could be developing a serious health complication that an owner hasn't yet noticed but that a regular wellness exam will reveal before symptoms progress. Skipping an annual check-up could mean the difference between successfully addressing early-stage disease in your cat and treating something more advanced.
2. Behavioral Changes Might Mean More Than You Think
As cats age, pet owners often dismiss changes in behavior as natural. As veterinarians, however, we like to stress that aging in and of itself is not a disease. Perhaps your senior cat is eating less with a reduced activity level, or maybe they've gained a few pounds or have demonstrated a few episodes of aggressive behavior. Any changes to your cat's behavior should be addressed with your Deerwood Animal Clinic Team during a check-up, as they could be related to hidden diseases. What you consider minor adjustments to their habits or personality might spark concern by your veterinarian.
Behavioral changes in your cat could be a sign of the following conditions:
Arthritis
Hyperthyroidism
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Feline Leukemia
Diabetes
Upper Respiratory Infection
Dental disease
3. Preventive Care is Always Smart
An annual wellness check-up with Dr. Williams allows you to reexamine your cat's health history and ensure they're on the path to a long, healthy life. Preventative care in
