Pain medication for felines
To keep my mind a bit occupied with cancer yet also away from dad’s cancer, I was wondering what to do when my cat would have cancer? Since we don’t go for colonoscopy on our cat, would we ever know he would ever have cancer in the first place?
Googling things up I was very surprised to hear about Celebrex again (see Colon Cancer Signs)
One particular class of drugs, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), is very effective in controlling post-surgical pain as well as pain and inflammation due to arthritis. Eh, our GP gave dad Celebrex long before there was even talk about surgery!
Just make sure that if one day your cat is in pain, go to your vet in stead of self medicating. Cats are very susceptible to exhibiting adverse effects from drugs like aspirin and acetaminophen, to the point that cats could die from it!
