Pain meds for cats

Question
I read that you gave your cat glucosamine for pain, did it work ? How much did you give? I have a cat I've had since she was 6 wks old and she is now 19 yrs old and hardly getting around. Any info would be helpful. Thank You  

Answer
Hi Charlotte,
You are mistaken, I have never given any of my pets glucosamine.  You need to be very careful prescribing drugs for you cat.  Be sure not to give aspirin, as it can be fatal.  You really need to take your cat to a Veterinarian if she is in that much pain.  I am very impressed that she is 19 years old!  That shows that you have taken good care of her.  I wish I could help you, but I am not a Vet and would be very leery of telling you to give her anything.  At her age, it is best to consult a professional.

God Bless ,
