for a shot about every two months. I call this one a total miracle. She has arthritis and the Solencia works its magic. She runs up stairs and jumps up on chairs and beds. My question to my Vet, why nothing for humans. Wellll, it has not been FDA approved.

“Solensia (frunevetmab) is a prescription injectable medication approved to treat osteoarthritis pain in cats. It is administered by a veterinarian once a month and works by targeting nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein that plays a key role in pain signaling. This targeted approach helps reduce pain and inflammation, improving mobility and quality of life for cats with arthritis.”
