  • 1.  Spondylosis Help

    Posted 10-14-2025 10:28 PM

    We have a senior cat through our rescue with severe spondylosis. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with acupuncture or laser therapy to relax the pain and/or if Bupe is the only good pain management medication? Any advice is appreciated as I would just love to help this sweet boy, but his spine is awful.

    In my former life working at a vet's office we had 2 cats with severe spondylosis. At that time they were getting Adequan injections. They had done some laser therapy, but also age was against them- both were in late teens and ended up with kidney failure on top of everything.
