 Seems to make a difference July 24, 2008
Our 18 year old kitty does seem to have an easier time getting up from laying down and is more eager to jump up on to higher objects. Didn't seem to take effect until about 4 weeks. I only give one pill a day since he is not the easiest to give a pill to, and when mixed in with food he won't eat it. I will continue to purchase this product since any ease of mobility for him is worth it.
Cosequin literally a life saver for my cat. July 12, 2008
My 13 year old cat was suffering from constant joint pain in her front legs/shoulders as well as severe pain from degenerative discs in her lower spine near the base of her tail. She was starting to lose the use of her legs at times due to the pain in the lower back. I had used Medacam oral suspension and Adequin shots to help but it was looking like we might have to put her down. The vet recommended Cosequin 2 months ago and the results have been amazing. I was skeptical but willing to try anything. Although I read that it normally takes 6-8 weeks for improvement, my cat was doing better after about 1-2 weeks. At the one month point, she was acting like a 2 year old cat; she now jumps up on the sofa and runs around playing with toys; something she had not done in a long time. Cosequin has literally saved her life.
I was told by the vet to sprinkle half a capsule in her food twice daily. I found that the dosage was too much; it made her act like she was sick to her stomach. I reduced the dosage and now I sprinkle a large pinch of the powder in each meal, feeding her more often but smaller portions. That works and she seems to tolerate it well now. If your cat does not want to eat it, try putting just a small sprinkle in wet food; it seems that even getting a small amount into my cat's system has helped a lot.
For those cats who will not eat it, I would recommend using a syrenge and getting it down somehow. The results are too good not to try it.
For the record, I do not work for the Cosequin company or sell the product; I am a regular consumer who has found it to be a miracle for my cat and do not want anyone else to miss out on the benefit. Good luck.
 My Cats Hate This July 8, 2008
Cosequin is supposed to work really well for cats with arthritis. However, I've had 2 cats totally refuse to eat it, even if disguised in tuna or other meat. I'm not talking, simple refusal. I'm talking, the cat runs away. I wish this company would make the medication *tasteless*. Duh.
For Bladder also June 27, 2008
The vet recommended this for one of our "kids" when she was around 11 years old and started having UTI's. I didn't really believe it would help much, but anything that might save her some pain, so we started with this.
I am pleased to say that they do seem to help her. And not just with her urinary tract but her joints as well, just as the product claims. After about 3 weeks on the cosequin she seemed to be getting around easier and playing more.
I made the mistake of running out and within 2 months she was back at the vet with a UTI. So I am back ordering more and I will be sure to keep them on hand.
They do fluctuate in price a lot, so shop around.
They are very easy to give to you cat as they are in capsule form. Just open them up and sprinkle them in the food. We have had no problems with them that way.
Good product May 24, 2008
My vet recommended Cosequin for my aging cat. It really has made a difference. She's moving around a lot more. I can tell she feels better.
