\r\n \r\n\r\nDefault\r\n\r\n Cat tore her cruciate ligament\r\n
\r\n
\r\n <!-' + '- / icon and title -' + '->\r\n \r\n\r\n <!-' + '- message -' + '->\r\n
\r\n \r\n I noticed that my cat had a problem with her hind legs, she was limping around not using one leg too well on Monday, so I took her to the vet yesterday. The vet said she had a torn cruciated ligament. He said to immobilize her for 2 weeks, to prevent her from jumping or climbing around which would prevent it from her. I am supposed to keep her flat on the ground with a more limited range of movement, in a dog crate or something. He also prescribed a supplement called "Cosequin Regular" which contains:
\r\nGlucosamine HCL min. 250 mg
\r\nSodium Chondroitin Sulfate min. 200 mg
\r\nManganese (Ascorbate) min. 2 mg
\r\n
\r\nto give her once a day mixed into her wet food. He said it is possible that it could heal on its own if I immobilize her, but if she is not making progress that surgery would be the only way forward. I jerry-rigged it so I could contain my cat in my closet locked in by a door screen and she seems to have no problem wolfing down the supplement mixed into her food.
\r\n
\r\n-' + '- I am concerned that my cat will get depressed locked up in there without much interaction. I am weary of letting her out for long because she will not want to stay level and instead start climbing on my bed, go downstairs, etc.
\r\n-' + '- I was thinking of giving her 2 capsules per day, this shouldn\'t be a problem right?\r\n

\r\n \r\n Won\'t be a problem but I doubt it will heal on its own and you are gonna have one ticked off cat being locked up like that.. Surgery will be about 1500 dollars I would think\r\n

\r\n \r\n A lot of vets in the UK use Bioflow magnetic collars for cats, dogs and horses for tendon and joint tears. They are a lot more powerful than the cheaper normal animal magnetic devices and generate a pulsed magnetic field which seems to speed up healing. They give a money back guarantee if it doesnt work so it is probably worth a try.

\r\nDo you have any links that show reviews of that product or know a US based seller? All I could find was user reviews submitted to UK e-commerce sites and such reviews are often faked.\r\n

\r\n \r\n @liverock: I emailed them asking if they had a US distributor and if they had studies or articles about the effectiveness of their product. They said they had no such article and no distributor.
\r\n
\r\nMy cat seems like she is slightly better. She seems to be limping alot less. However this could just be because she learned to balance and cope better with the injury. At first she was real demoralized and it was easy to keep her locked in the closet, but she is a very vocal cat and whines alot so I let her out more and more.\r\n

\r\n \r\n How did your vet determine that it was cruciate ligament?
\n
\nLigaments have been healing for thousands of years. They do tend to take a few weeks to do so but they do heal. There are many possible options to help that process along including also Acupuncture, Craniosacral therapy, Homeopathy, herbs etc etc etc....
\n
\nI would allow yourself to be guided by your cat - she will know what her body is capable of, animals are far more connected to their healing abilities than most humans and cats are even better at it than dogs. If she\'s getting stressed by being contained, give her more freedom within sensible limits.
\n
\nPersonally I\'d be cautious about doubling the dosage of any remedy without first ascertaining for yourself that it is safe to do so. More is not necessarily better, it can sometimes be harmful - careful research is needed....
\n
\nI\'ll send her Reiki if she\'d like it.\r\n

\r\n \r\n The cat is totally healthy now, she seems to have no limp at all now. I even gave her 8 capsules of Cosequin Regular a day. I do not know if the mega-dosing helped or not, I am just grateful I didn\'t have to go the surgery route for her.
\r\n
\r\n@indigo: You were sort of correct. I noticed at first my cat was demoralized and she easily accepted being locked up in the closet behind a screen at first. As she got healthier, but was still limping slightly, she kept accosting me with her meowing till I let her out more and more.\r\n

Thrasymachus is on a distinguished road
Default Cat tore her cruciate ligament
I noticed that my cat had a problem with her hind legs, she was limping around not using one leg too well on Monday, so I took her to the vet yesterday. The vet said she had a torn cruciated ligament. He said to immobilize her for 2 weeks, to prevent her from jumping or climbing around which would prevent it from her. I am supposed to keep her flat on the ground with a more limited range of movement, in a dog crate or something. He also prescribed a supplement called "Cosequin Regular" which contains:
Glucosamine HCL min. 250 mg
Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate min. 200 mg
Manganese (Ascorbate) min. 2 mg

to give her once a day mixed into her wet food. He said it is possible that it could heal on its own if I immobilize her, but if she is not making progress that surgery would be the only way forward. I jerry-rigged it so I could contain my cat in my closet locked in by a door screen and she seems to have no problem wolfing down the supplement mixed into her food.

-- I am concerned that my cat will get depressed locked up in there without much interaction. I am weary of letting her out for long because she will not want to stay level and instead start climbing on my bed, go downstairs, etc.
-- I was thinking of giving her 2 capsules per day, this shouldn't be a problem right?
