Reducing Discomfort, Maximising Mobility

Arthritis is a common issue in ageing cats, causing joint pain and reduced mobility. At Palms Vets, we offer cat arthritis treatments in Townsville designed to relieve discomfort and improve your beloved pet's quality of life. Our approach includes tailored treatment plans, medication, and ongoing support to help your cat stay active and comfortable.


Our arthritis management services include anti-inflammatory injections and supportive therapies to reduce pain and stiffness. Regular treatment can significantly improve mobility, allowing your cat to move more freely without discomfort. By addressing arthritis early, we help prevent worsening symptoms and maintain joint health.

Common Signs of Feline Arthritis

If you notice changes in your cat’s movement or behaviour, it could indicate that arthritis is present. Here are five signs to look out for:


  1. Reduced Activity: Your cat may be less willing to jump, climb, or move around as freely as before.
  2. Stiffness or Limping: You might notice stiffness when your cat gets up after resting or a slight limp when walking.
  3. Difficulty Grooming: Arthritis can make it painful for cats to reach certain areas, leading to a matted or unkempt coat.
  4. Reluctance to Use the Litter Box: Cats with joint pain may avoid high-sided litter boxes due to discomfort when stepping in or out.
  5. Irritability or Withdrawal: A normally social cat may become withdrawn, avoid handling, or react negatively to being touched.


Early arthritis treatment can help improve your cat’s comfort and mobility in the long term. Reach out to us today to find out more.
