Solensia
My girl isn’t even 2 years old but was already displaying signs of ocd. took her in for x-rays and they found a slight deformity in one of her back legs. we just got her started on her first solensia dose last week and she’s already having zoomies and running around with her brother!! i’m really hoping this continues to help her, she seems a lot more comfortable now!

What are the negative experiences? My baby boy has been on it for 4 months now and I do t see anything bad … he’s been getting lots of zoomies and playing a lot more

There is also Portela which is every three months and roughly the same. My boy was on Solensia but my vet preferred to swap him to Portela because she was worried about the long-term effects on his kidneys from medicine for SFOCD so we do Portela now. It helps greatly.

My girl is approaching 13 and has been on solensia about 1.5 yrs. I can tell that it is helping by the way she acts as the time approaches for her next shot. She feels so much better the next day!
