No - aspirin is toxic to cats and you can kill them with it. They are extremely sensitive to the side effect and develop fatal stomach ulcers readily.
If you feel your cat would benefit from pain medication, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe and relatively cheap medications available, but you will need a veterinary prescription to get them.
No, you should never give human medications to animals. Cats are very sensitive to the harmful side effects of aspirin and even one pill can be enough to cause a fatal stomach ulcer.
If you think your cat is in pain, you should take it to your vet, who can figure out if the cat is hurting and what kind of pain medication can be given for it.
NO! you cannot give a cat or kitten aspirin. It is highly toxic to felines. With that being said you also have to make sure you do not give them anything that has aspirin in it like Pepto-Bismol.
Aspirin. Yes, you can give 1/4th of a baby aspirin to a cat but ONLY once every 72 hours. The cat is missing a liver enzyme that helps break down aspirin. This causes aspirin, and many other drugs, to be slowly broken down and thus the effects of aspirin lasts for 72 hours in the feline patient. So, if you gave aspirin three to four times a day to a cat you would certainly have a dead cat by the second or third day. Cat aspirin dose is 10mg/kg once every 72 hours. Aspirin should be given with food. NEVER give aspirin if the cat is also on a glucocorticoid (prednisone) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS).
NO!!!! Never give a cat aspirin. it can kill them. Same for Tylenol etc. If your cat has an abscess, take it to the vet ASAP--- It will need antibiotics to kill the infection. Hot compresses can help in the meantime.
Yes, but medically there are differences between cats and humans such as metabolic rates that should be considered when trying to dose any medication given. A Vet should be consulted about any product you're thinking of giving your animals because what may be safe for one animal could quite easily kill another. NEVER use any Tylenol products. It will kill your cat.
Aspirin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, has been found to have beneficial effects for some animals. It has been used for conditions related to blood clotting, inflammation, and for its analgesic properties. However, it can also be toxic to the body. Once ingested, aspirin forms salicylic acid, which is then distributed throughout the body. Aspirin toxicity is a particular concern in cats because they lack the enzyme critical for metabolizing salicylic acid properly. Cat owners must follow their veterinarian's orders strictly if aspirin is prescribed for any reason.
