2. Excerpt:

For the first time, a drug aimed at treating osteoarthritis in cats has been approved for use in the U.S. It's also the first approved monoclonal antibody drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for any animal species.

The drug, Solensia, is not a cure for osteoarthritis. The FDA said the drug can help manage the pain from the degenerative condition and improve a feline's quality of life.

Snip

Solensia is delivered by injection. It must be prescribed and administered by a veterinarian. Side effects can include vomiting, diarrhea, injection site pain, scabbing on the head and neck and itchy skin. The FDA said these tend to be mild.
