    Posted 7 days ago

    We have a senior cat at our rescue with severe Spondylosis. Does anyone have experience or know what works to provide pain relief?

    My heart goes out to your sweet senior cat with spondylitis. I've cared for a cat with similar issues, and what helped most was daily gentle massage on his back, a warm heating pad (on low, with a blanket barrier) for 10 minutes a day, and keeping his environment easy to navigate without jumping. I hope you find relief for him soon-you're doing such wonderful work.

    Thank you so much for the suggestions and advice. This senior boy is so scared of everything and has the worst spondylosis our vet has ever seen. Trying to keep him comfortable so he can relax, so thank you for your help!
