Elbow

Elbows have an important role in the sound movement of your cat. Cats put 60% of their weight on the front legs. Any injury or other disorder in the elbow joint can lead to serious consequences such as mobility issues and even arthritis at a later age. Most of the cats don’t show signs of pain even if they are suffering. Being a responsible owner you should not ignore your cat’s excessive sleepiness, reluctance to move and play, and excessive licking of a limb. These can be due to pain in the limb. Maintain a healthy weight of your cat. This is the best way to keep her joints healthy and free from arthritis. Regular exercise is the key to fitness. If your cat is having joint problems, your veterinarian may recommend physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medicines, and nutritional supplements depending on the condition.
