Do You Recognize the Signs Banner
Your Cat Could Be Suffering With Osteoarthritis Pain
Chronic pain caused by osteoarthritis affects every aspect of your cat’s day and can make it hard for your cat to take part in their usual activities. If your cat looks like they’re slowing down, it may be time to book an appointment for an evaluation.
What Is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a painful condition that occurs when the cushioning in the joints (cartilage) is worn away, leaving the bones to rub against each other. 
Osteoarthritis is a chronic problem that worsen over time, limiting mobility even more as it progresses.

Is Solensia™ Right for Your Cat?

Solensia™ (frunevetmab) is a monthly injectable treatment administered by your veterinarian that helps control pain from feline osteoarthritis (OA), so your cat can experience improved mobility, comfort and quality of life. Each dose is easily administered subcutaneously (under the skin) and is based on your cat’s weight. Solensia targets nerve growth factor, a protein which is a key mediator of OA pain. Solensia is now available at VCA Animal Hospitals. Discuss treatment options with your veterinarian to determine if Solensia is right for your cat.

Your Veterinarian Can Help!

Osteoarthritis pain is manageable. With the return of comfort, cats can regain mobility and enjoy their regular activities again, improving their overall quality of life.
