What is Solensia for cats?
Solensia injection is a monthly veterinary treatment used to manage pain associated with osteoarthritis in cats. It is the first and only monoclonal antibody therapy approved specifically for feline arthritis pain, helping improve mobility and overall quality of life.
How does Solensia work?
Solensia works by targeting and neutralizing nerve growth factor (NGF), a key protein involved in transmitting pain signals. By blocking NGF, Solensia helps reduce pain at its source without affecting the liver or kidneys like some traditional medications.
What conditions does Solensia treat?
Solensia is used to treat:
- Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)
- Chronic joint pain in cats
- Reduced mobility and stiffness
What are the benefits of Solensia?
- Monthly injection administered by your veterinarian
- No daily pills or medications at home
- Helps improve mobility, comfort, and activity levels
- Well-tolerated with minimal side effects in most cats
Is Solensia safe for cats?
Solensia is considered safe for most cats when given by a veterinarian. Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary lethargy or sensitivity at the injection site. Your veterinarian will evaluate your cat’s health to determine if Solensia is the right option.
When will I see results?
Some cats show improvement within the first few weeks, while others may need multiple monthly injections to experience the full benefits.
Where can I get Solensia injections?
Solensia injections are administered by a licensed veterinarian. If your cat is showing signs of arthritis such as limping, reluctance to jump, or decreased activity, schedule an exam to discuss treatment options.
