Arthritis is a common ailment in many senior cats including the American Curl. Possible signs of arthritis may first appear as muscle soreness or stiffness. If your cat is having trouble getting in and out of the litter box or moving around in general, give your vet a call. In some cases, vets will prescribe NSAIDs or Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs for American Curls with arthritis and other joint and muscle pain. However, some owners are turning to all natural organic supplements and herbal remedies to relieve the inflammation. Holistic vets tend to look to dietary deficiencies and toxins present in the cat as a cause of inflammation and often prescribe a complete detox and diet change. Other vets suggest adding supplements such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Selenium, and MSM to the diet to decrease inflammation.
