VinnieAndRexsMom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Half a baby asprin every 3 days because they metabolize it differently, per our vet Quote Tonya, mom to May, and my angels Vinnie, Rex, Red, Chase, and Jake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyttech Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 There are lots of pain meds for cats out there! Just ask your vet, and if he/she says there aren't any...get a new vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LynnM Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Metacam can be given to cats. Your vet can instruct you on the dosages. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CindiLuvsGreys Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Depending on how bad the pain is there is a pain patch for cats. My cat had one for the first 2 days after he had 14 teeth pulled. Hope your kitty is feeling better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytNut Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Ask the vet about Metacam. It tastes dreadful to them and it can be a challenge to get it down, but it seems to really work wonders!

Guest minzenon Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 One drop of metacam is enough for a cat. They really dont handle pain medication very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oh_Greyt Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Metacam is one drop per pound for cats. It tastes (supposedly) honey flavored and we've had so much success with cats loving it at our clinic! Our barn cat has an occasional limp so he gets it all the time - He loves it so much he tries to grab the bottle and suck it down so we've had to start putting it on his food! There's also ketoprofen, and many other oral pain meds. Then there's injectables and pain patches. It all just depends on what the reason for needing it is.
