Last time we had Ollie at the vet's for his rabies and other vaccines, she suggested glucosamine for his arthritis. His one hind leg is losing muscle mass from a knee injury and he limps often. I started him on some and now his feeding schedule is all out of whack and that throws off his insulin regimen. He won't always eat his "meals" and is laying around more than usual. He also seems to whine a lot. I'm thinking we may be back at the vet soon to see what's up.
On another note - a neighbor came by and complained about Salem stalking her bird feeder. Since we want to keep in good relations with the neighbors, we barred the doggie door. We recently purchased a smart door that allows Ollie to come and go but Salem can't open the door. So far it's working great. The way the solid door swings scares the cat so she avoids it while it's swinging and by the time it stops, it's locked and she can't open it. We've had some pawing and crying at the door for a few days but that seems to be over. It took Ollie a day or two to figure out the new door but now he knows to wait for unlock sound to go through.
