Hello,

I haven’t posted in a while. My boy has been doing well up until 3 weeks ago when his facial pain got worse. He was diagnosed with Acromegaly 2 years ago. In 2020 he was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and in 2021 with diabetes. He’s on lots of heart meds and insulin.
He’s been on herbal medicine and gabapentin
to help alleviate discomfort from the growing pain of Acromegaly. We have reached a point where this combo isn’t helping much anymore.
Does anyone have a recommendation for pain medication that has helped your babies to ease their discomfort? Either that your vet has prescribed or that you have discovered elsewhere?
A friend suggested CBD or CBN today. I haven’t looked into it but if you all have experience with CBD and have found a brand you trust I’m open to any and all suggestions.
Thank you!
 
Neko was on buprenorphine full time. It was a game changer from her. From withdrawn and not moving much to playing and interacting with us again. I tried gabapentin but it didn't help her much. From what I've seen here, it's seems to be ECID what works best for each cat. For her arthritis pain (from bone growth), acupuncture really helped her.

thank you, I will ask his vet about this medication.
