Question about how I know it's time to try Solensia for arthritis

I realized in mid-July that my 13 ¾ old male Maine Coon cat is suffering from arthritis. I tried various supplements, but nothing was helping. About 2 ½ weeks ago I started giving him Joint Support for Cats from Canna Companion USA (hemp CBD). It was explained to me that it may take 2-6 weeks for full effects to be seen because of the time it can take the Endocannabinoid System to make and activate the proper amount of cannabis receptors. Other than appearing to not be in as much pain, he hasn't shown much more improvement, although he surprised us twice by jumping into bed with us for a couple of minutes and several times jumping up on the recliner to get chicken my husband was eating. I have noticed that he really has difficulty walking on smooth floors because his back legs keep sliding out from under him.

I am thinking about getting him one Solensia injection to see if it will help him until the Joint Support really kicks in. Would Solensia interfere with what the Joint Support is supposed to be doing with his Enocannabinoid System? Solensia injections last four weeks, so I would continue giving him the Joint Support.and in five weeks I should know if the hemp CBD is enough to help him, or if he will need something more.

I would really like to see him doing things that he has stopped doing, like sleeping on the recliner or in bed with us, and playing with his toys. Then I would know that he feels good again. I keep thinking, if I just wait a little bit longer...so I am asking for your thoughts on whether or not I should try one Solensia injection or wait longer to see if the hemp CBD is working.

Thank you!

Hey Ruth!
Would Solensia interfere
Nope.

And you will! You'll be amazed. Solensia can work miracles and is not like an artificial drug.

Solensia has been a "game changer" (according to a renowned vet pain specialist) in the EU for a few years:

Thank you, Dr. Jeff. We're taking him on Wednesday for a Solensia injection. I can't wait to see what it can do for him.

Ruth, even if the solensia helps a lot, keep working towards the long term balancing of the vital force - maybe review the 101 course?

Anytime we can use energy healing to resolve a symptom, the vital force is likely to not get ill in other ways. Maybe a great chiropractor, or other holistic vet. Learn some of the energy work we have had great speakers on and do it yourself.
