Glucosomine can take months to work. It has to rebuild. Take a look at
Dr. Jean Hofve's page:
http://www.facekitty.com/2009/04/arthritis-in-cats-holistic-tre.html for
some interesting information, especially Creak-away. I was never happy
with the ingredients of GlycoFlex, so never gave it to any cats.

Hi all, I have a positive kitty, Abbey, who is about 5 years old. She is
very healthy except for having arthritis in her hip. I believe lack
of nutrition as a kitten caused the poor development of her bones. X-rays
showed her hip bone was very squared and was likely causing her limp. I
started her on GlycoFlexii chewable treats about 6 weeks ago. They have
glucosamine and other ingredients for joint support. Her limp hasn't
improved, and I think she may be in pain. I am so leary of putting her on
pain meds since she will surely have to be on them for life. I want to
start her out on the mildest possible meds. I don't think she'll let me
pill her either, that's why the soft chewables seemed to be ideal. She
doesn't have any teeth either...lost them all shortly after I got her.
Have any of you used anything that has no side effects that might work for
her?
