Customer's question-Old Timer for Feline Arthritis
" I've been giving my 16-year-old cat this herbal preparation for about 6 weeks, maybe more, and she seems to be responding well to it. However, I'm wondering if her arthritis is worsening. Formerly, I gave her Cosequin. When her symptoms worsened, I gave her a little more. When she seemed more spry, I decreased her dosage. This seemed to go with the seasons. She is limping in the last week in a way she didn't before. If I increase her dose of Old Timer, will the effect be heightened, or will I be wasting the product? How long after I increase the dose should I see an improvement? " Answer: You can increase the dosage from 1 drop to 1 1/2 drops every 2 lbs. Try this dosage for 3 weeks. If there is no difference that you could see, increase it again to 2 drops every pounds, but I wouldn't recommend you to increase anymore than this. Cosequin is safe to use along with Old Timer for Feline Arthritis.
