... not for acute, temporary pain or surgical related relief, and not through injection or topical.
This is looking for input from folks who administer this med at home to their cats because of chronic pain, due to things like arthritis or cancer, for example. All the information on the internet varies so much that it is hard to decipher anything from it. Hearing from others with their individual experiences would at least give me some personal level appreciation.
While dosing is different based on a number of factors, for what it is worth Feeby has been prescribed 0.1ml every 12 hours - calculated/determined by the following equation: her weight 5.82kg x 'dose' .01mg/kg divided by strength 0.6mg/ml. The specific brand is Buprenex.
So, tell me -
- Dosage (how much you are giving your cat each time)
- Frequency (how often do you give the dosage each time)
- Adjustment time - (how long it took your cat to adjust to this new med)
- Efficacy (how long each dosage seems to last)
- Side effects, both short term and longer term
- Adverse reactions if any - and resolution, if needed
- Duration (how long your cat has been receiving this med)
- Other input (not covered above)
Thanks.
