My senior cat has arthritis and wobbly back legs. What can I do?

Question

Him My cat is 14 years old and basically in good health. He has been having problems with his back legs for several months now. We took him to the vet and they did blood work which came back good. They did say he has arthritis and joint pain in the back legs. We are giving him Glucosamine and Cosequin. The vet recommended a stronger med called Sibadol and eloxiject. We are not sure what to do. We want to help him. He doesn't seem to be in pain but he is unbalanced. Also want a back leg brace sup. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 years and 1 month old | 17 lbs

If Felix is having problems with his back legs and has arthritis and joint pain, giving him stronger medications may help. As for the back leg brace support, I'd ask his vet about that. That may be something that needs to be specially ordered for him. Best of luck.
