There is nothing that you can do to slow down the process but you can get a glucosamine supplement to help lubricate Balim's joints to make her move better. One such supplement is Cosequin for cats. I would also talk to your veterinarian about an anti-inflammatory to help with any pain she is having. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
