Hi and thanks for posting on PetCoach! The first thing I'd make sure Willow is eating is enough calcium. Be sure Willow is eating a kitten food until she is about 9 months to a year of age as kitten food has more calcium and other minerals in it that is required for healthy bone growth. A great supplement you may want to consider is DHA and EPA. Both are types of omega 3 fatty acid that are excellent for healthy development for multiple organ systems such as the heart, brain, skin, and bone/joint health. I have a product I'd recommend below: # I hope this helps!

Hi there! I’m not familiar with this brand, but those are good ingredients! You could definitely start your other cat on it, as long as your regular vet has no concerns based on your cat’s health history. As long as he’s on a high quality food, it may not be necessary until you start seeing the early signs of arthritis or other joint troubles.

Many tripod kitties lead perfectly normal lives without any problems at any point. It's great that you are planning for the future and watching out for Jax's health. The absolute most important thing you can do for him is to keep his weight at a very low and balanced level. I like to recommend to clients to keep their three legged cats / dogs on the thin side of normal. Your pets may not like it, but it is definitely for the best. I am not telling you to starve Jax by any means, just make sure that you never have to ask yourself "Is he looking a little chubby". If you are asking yourself that, then it is probably time for a diet. As far as supplements, there are dozens and dozens of joint supplements available. You can ask 20 different vets an get 20 different answers as to which is the best. The one I would use with my own cats is this: https://www.chewy.com/nutramax-welactin-feline-omega-3-cat/dp/101462 It's nice because you just just put it on their food and they usually love it. Hope this helps and good luck with Jax.

Yes, this is fine to give to your cat. Just be sure to get the one formulated for cats. I do recommend taking her into a vet, however, as she may be painful. Cats can be stoic about pain, and can be quite good at hiding it. If she is in pain, she would benefit from pain medications which the vet can prescribe. Unfortunately you cannot give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I would have her seen by a vet in the next day or two. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would put her on a Glucosamine AND Omega 3 fish oils. I like Dasquinn treats and for fish oils I prefer VRS Omega Benefits but it is a liquid. Otherwise try Nordic naturals. The Omega fish oils helps the joints and skin and the glucosamine is just for the joints. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=34361 https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=24785 https://www.vrshealth.com/feline-products/omegacat/ I hope this helps!
