TBH Vets I Need Some Help

[Deb]

What can I give my cat for pain until I can get him to the vet tomorrow? He has been in a fight with something. One claw has been pulled out and both front legs have been injured. Can't see any punture wounds.

Thanks for trying, nothing there for pain.

Hate to say it, but there's just not much you can do for an injured kitty short of a midnight run to the vet ER. Most normal pain meds either have no effect or have bad or fatal side effects on cats. Try to put him/her in a open box lined with a towel with one side folded down, so he can see out, put a very small dish of water in reach, and put it somewhere he can see you from inside, and hope he hangs out quietly till the vet opens in the morning, if it's not serious enough to justify a midnight ride.

Nothing. Cats don't do well with most types of pain medications. I use buprenorphine in cats but you need a scipt for it. Hope your cat does well.
