Glucosamine and chondroitin is often prescribed for the arthritis in horses, as well as dog, and cats. Check with a vet as to the proper dosage, as more isnt necessarily better. DO NOT give the cat excedrin, or tylenol/acetomenophin, as it will destroy the cats liver, and once in the cats system, there is no hope for recovery. I would ask the vet if there are any other otc medications which might help. I hope this helps.

Take Millie to a vet who will check out her condition and probably prescribe a suitable medication for her arthritis. The medication may well be something you can get `over the counter.'
12 isn't really old for a cat and, with the proper care, Millie should live for several more years.

You can give her glucosomine. One of the better brands is cosemin. You give a loading dose for a week or 2, then go to a maintenance dose. You will see results normally in about 3 months, but it works really well on arthritis for dogs, cats, horses and human. It's not instant, though; give it time to work.

Some of the medicines used for humans can be deadly for cats, including aspirin. Here are a couple of vendors that sell arthritis remedies for cats.

Yes your vet can give her medication, but the real answer is can you give her the real relief that is needed?
