My lovely old boy cat has arthritis and is struggling To jump and climb stairs. He's also FIV positive. Vet proscribed loxicom with the caveat that it may cause kidney issues, but given his age and health it was worth trying to alleviate his pain.
Sadly, since taking it he's been sick twice and has constipation, so I've stopped the loxicom.
Will take him back to the vet but dreading a conversation about what to do now.
It's so hard to tell how much pain he is in and he's still eating normally and has good fur, purring and cuddly.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to other things I can try to help him?
