Question : What’s the best vitamin or liquid medicine to give an older cat that has trouble jumping?
My cat has trouble jumping and I’ve given her liquid glucosamine which seems to work well. But it’s very expensive and I’m wondering if there’s anything that doesn’t cost that much that works just as effectively.
liquid glucosamine

Cosequin is not a presciption product, and is glucosamine and chondroitin in a flavored product. It is not expensive.
When my one cat was arthritic, I actually got 250 mg capsules of glucosamine and chondroitin at a drug store. However, it seems that dose form is no longer carried, with everyone putting out megadose tablets. She got one capsule every other day.
I first started to sprinkle it on her food, but it got so she simply gobbled up the capsule.
