Anyway god bless my baby, because she is the nicest little cat ( she is 15 pounds) and so sweet. The vet recommended Cartrophen and she is so much better, playing, jumping, and happier. Also I combined this with Feliway diffuser in the houise to keep her anxiety down.... It seems to work.
One thing... I can actually see a difference in her need for the injections about 3 weeks in and usually book her appt for the next week.

I"m glad it is working for your cat. One thing you might want to consider is giving the injections yourself. It's very easy, the Vet can show you how. And it's cheaper and less stressful on the cat to not have to drive into the Vet for each shot. My Vet sold me pre-loaded syringes which I kept in the fridge. Saved on gas and time too, not having to drive to the Vet, which was 20 to 30 minutes one way for me.
