You've expressed concern about not seeing immediate improvements in your cat's arthritis following a Solensia injection. It's natural to expect changes quickly, but improvements might take a little time.
- Solensia can take a few weeks to show noticeable effects.
- Every pet responds differently to treatment.
- Consult your vet if you have ongoing concerns or notice adverse reactions.
Solensia, used for treating arthritis in cats, might take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to show improvements in mobility and comfort. This is because it works by gradually reducing pain and inflammation, allowing your cat's body time to respond to the treatment. It’s important to be patient and monitor your cat’s behavior over the next few weeks. If you do not see any improvement after a reasonable period or if your cat's condition worsens, you should reach out to your veterinarian for advice.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
