Tip - 8- Can I give
my sick or injured cat an Aspirin or painkiller?
Although we may want
to help our sick cats or cats that have been injured, never give
your cat pain medication.
Many
common pain medications that are safe for humans (and other species)
are potentially
fatal to cats. These medications include Acetaminophen (Tylenol,
Atasol, Paracetomol etc.) Acetylsalicylic acid known as ASA or
by the brand name Aspirin, and Ibuprofen
(Motrin, Advil etc.)
One extra strength
Acetaminophen tablet can kill a small cat.
Only painkillers that
are specifically prescribed for your cat by a veterinarian can
be given when your cat is sick or injured.
