Another name for feline spine degeneration is spondylosis deformans.
Spondylosis deformans is a noninflammatory, degenerative spinal column condition.
Bone spurs along the spine are the main characteristic of spondylosis deformans.
Bone spurs appear along the bottom sides and upper aspects of the spinal vertebrae.
The bone spurs are bone outgrowths, usually grown in response to aging, or injury.
In cats, spondylosis deformans occurs more often in the chest vertebrae.
The following are Feline Spine Degeneration symptoms:

The following are Feline Spine Degeneration Causes:

Thankfully, Eastern medicine offers a natural solution for feline spine degeneration and bone spurs.
Bone Stasis: Western Medicine Uses
Bone Stasis is a Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) herbal blend formulated for bone spurs, swelling, and calcifications.
Even though Bone Stasis is a TCVM herbal blend, it still helps symptoms of some Western diagnoses.
Bone Stasis treats the following Western diagnoses:
- Bone spurs, chips, and swelling
- Calcium deposits
- Osteophytes and osteosclerosis
- Degenerative bone disorders
Bone Stasis: Eastern Medicine Uses
Eastern medicine treats a disease’s root cause(s) rather than symptoms.
Accordingly, TCVM requires a different evaluation process than Western veterinary medicine.
TCVM vets look for signs of imbalance.
Bone Stasis helps cats with the following TCVM signs:
- A fast, tense, wiry pulse
- Bone stasis and stagnation (Stagnation can also affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments)
- A purple tongue
