I have an older cat that has arthritis in her spine right where her tail connects (confirmed by x-rays). She was having trouble walking up stairs and she was clearly in pain while trying to use the litter box. Poor thing, it just broke my heart to see her so uncomfortable. The pain appeared so bad, I was afraid she might have to be put down. I started giving her Duralactin in her food (1 pill per day) and fish flavored hair ball medicine (both vet recommended). She never seemed to mind the Duralactin but hated the hair ball medicine at first, now she demands it (like a treat). Bottom line, I started to see a big difference after couple of weeks. She has been on both now for about 3 months and is back to running, jumping and playing. I do know there is a possibility that the hair ball medicine may have done the trick, or that some may say the arthritic bones have started to fuse, but in my opinion, based on the speed of recovery, it is the Duralactin. As far as I am concerned, I don’t really care, my cat appears to be pain free.

I was initially skeptical about this (milk proteins from hyper-immunized cows? seems to me they should be digested in the stomach) but it has actually helped my very arthritic 17 year old cat- she can now go up and down the stairs- still has arthritis, but it seems a good bit milder. It takes a while to act, I think maybe a week or two (it has been a while since she started so I am not sure). The really important thing to me though is that she will actually eat it mixed into some wet food- this is one of the few medicines that has been true of. The other product my vet recommended for her arthritis(dasuquin with glucosamine and chondroitin, tuna flavored) she wouldn’t touch the food it was mixed into. Maybe duralactin is more palatable since it is milk proteins. (She doesn’t like fish, unlike many cats).

This product is easy to use – I just mix it with a tablespoon of Whiskas catmilk – and it seems to be providing relief for a fat old cat. He is moving much better, which will help with his diet and exercise program.
