Medications that are dangerous for cats. Can aspirin be used on cats? Basic information about the drug Is it possible to give a cat aspirin for fever
Domestic veterinary drugs
ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID. Acidum acetylsalicylicum.
Salicylic ester of acetic acid.
Synonyms: aspirin, acesal, acetophen, acetisal, acylpyrine, acetal, aceticyl, acetosol, acetilin, istopirine, polopyrine, ruspirin, etc.
Properties. Colorless small needle-shaped crystals or light white crystalline powder, odorless, slightly soluble in water (1:300), easily in alcohol (1:20), chloroform, solutions of caustic and carbonic alkalis. In a humid environment, it hydrolyzes to form acetic and salicylic acids.
Release form. Produced in powder and tablets of 0.25 and 0.5 g.
More tablets are prepared with the following composition: acetylsalicylic acid and phenacetin 0.25 g each and caffeine 0.05 g; acetylsalicylic acid 0.25 g and caffeine 0.05 g. They are used for neuralgia as an antipyretic.
Store in a dry, dark place. Shelf life 5 years.
Action and application. Acetylsalicylic acid is an effective analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic agent. In terms of activity, it is somewhat inferior to sodium salicylate, but is better tolerated by animals. It does not decompose in the stomach, in the intestines it slowly turns into acetic and salicylic acid. In dogs, the drug may relieve or prevent bacterial endotoxic shock.
Like sodium salicylate, acetylsalicylic acid has some anticoagulant activity and is used to prevent postoperative thrombosis, with cerebrovascular accidents, etc. It is one of the strong inhibitors of prostaglandin biosynthesis, which may play a role in the mechanism of its anti-inflammatory action and in the inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation.
Acetylsalicylic acid is prescribed orally for muscular and articular rheumatism, as an antipyretic and analgesic. In high doses, it can contribute to the development of bleeding, especially in diseases accompanied by a violation of platelet aggregation.
Acetylsalicylic acid is less likely than sodium salicylate to cause side effects associated with dysfunction of the nervous system, but can lead to complications from the stomach. Its prolonged use provokes dyspeptic symptoms and gastric bleeding. The latter are due not only to the resorptive action of acetylsalicylic acid (inhibition of blood coagulation factors), but also to its direct irritant effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum. In order to eliminate this effect, the drug should be given 15-30 minutes after feeding, followed by plenty of drinking.
Acetylsalicylic acid can cause allergic reactions, bronchospasm, angioedema, skin reactions, etc. Contraindicated in gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding and in the first half of pregnancy.
Doses inside: horses 25-50 g; cattle 25-75 g; small cattle 3-10 g; pigs 3-5 g; dogs 0.2-2 g; chickens 0.1-0.3 g, minks 0.1-0.2 g.
Pain in cats, like other animals, is a symptom of a serious illness or injury. In order to help an animal suffering from pain, it is necessary to cure the underlying disease. If painful sensations significantly worsen the quality of life of a cat, then mainly painkillers of two groups are used - NSAIDs and narcotic drugs. The problem of choosing a safe analgesic for cats is the toxicity of many drugs.
- oncological diseases;
- surgical operations;
- injuries (ruptures of ligaments, internal organs, fractures, etc.);
- inflammatory diseases of various localization - in the urinary system, ears (otitis media), pancreas (pancreatitis), uterine mucosa (endometritis);
- dilated stomach syndrome, peritonitis;
- chronic renal failure (CRF);
- hepatic and renal colic;
- diseases of the nervous system - polyradiculoneuritis, neuromas and others;
- toothache, particularly severe in FORL (progressive tooth decay in cats).
- if the animal is in acute pain, then it usually becomes more active and anxious, meowing plaintively;
- in chronic pain, on the contrary, the cat becomes lethargic and lethargic. This condition signals that the disease is no longer in its initial stage, and the lack of treatment can lead to serious complications.
- narcotic;
- neuroleptic;
- antispasmodic;
- anti-inflammatory;
- antipyretic;
- local anesthetics.
- vomiting, poor appetite;
- admixture of blood in the urine;
- increased salivation;
- hard breath;
- edema.
- True analgesics are narcotic painkillers, opioid drugs based on morphine. These drugs are characterized by a strong analgesic effect, as they directly suppress the activity of the pain center in the brain. In addition, they have a hypnotic and sedative (calming) effect. The use of opioids causes drug dependence, so they are prescribed in exceptional cases. The most powerful of them - Morphine, Fentanyl, Trimeperidine are prohibited in Russia. Many of these drugs used for pain relief are not suitable for cats, as they cause increased excitability in them.
- Non-narcotics. They successfully cope with pain during inflammation of the muscles and joints, the peripheral nervous system, but with a stronger pain syndrome associated with injuries, surgery, oncology, they are not so effective.
- Zantac or Ranitidine, po, 2 mg/kg every 8 hours;
- Famotidine, 0.5 mg/kg every 12-24 hours, IM, s.c. or p.o.;
- Cimetidine, 2-5 mg/kg every 12 hours, po.
- for mild to moderate pain - Biprenorphine, which is administered intramuscularly or intravenously at a dosage of 0.005-0.015 mg per kilogram of animal weight every 4-8 hours;
- with severe pain syndrome - Fentanyl, s / c, / m or / in 0.005-0.01 mg / kg every 2 hours.
- Butorphanol, 0.5-1 mg/kg, every 6-8 hours;
- Tramadol 4 mg/kg every 12 hours
- Fentonyl;
- Ketonal;
- Kefentek.
- Safroderm-gel;
- Bio Groom spray;
- Travmagel.
- Loxicom oral suspension for cats. The drug is available in two concentrations of the active ingredient - 0.5 and 1.5 mg / ml. On the first day, the cat is given 0.1 mg per 1 kg of weight (for a concentration of 0.5 mg / ml - 0.2 ml / kg). Starting from the second day, the amount of the drug is reduced to 0.05 mg/kg.
- Ketofen, according to the dosage indicated in the table above.
- Rimadyl.
- 1% solution of Ketofen, 0.2 ml/kg, s.c., 1-3 days.
- For a short time, you can also use drugs intended for humans - Ketonal (Ketoprofen). To do this, 0.2 ml of the drug is mixed with 1 ml of saline or water for injection. The amount obtained is applied per 5 kg of the cat's weight. If the cat is smaller, then a reduced volume is administered. The injection is administered subcutaneously, once a day.
- Metrogil Denta;
- Homeopathic gel Travmatin;
- Dentavedin;
- Nibbler;
- Strong teeth (has a weak analgesic effect).
- In case of injuries of various etiologies (bites, bruises, fractures, falling from a great height, burns, etc.), during the first half of the day, the cat is drunk every 15 minutes, and then after 30 minutes, 5 drops. The next day, the animal is given the drug after 1-2 hours. It is recommended to dilute the drops in a small amount of water. The general course is until the cat is fully restored (usually no more than 2 weeks).
- After surgery or if the cat has an inoperable case, Traumeel is given to the animal according to the previous scheme.
- In the form of injections, Traumeel is more effective. Therefore, if you have the skills to give injections, then it is better to administer it intramuscularly, intravenously or subcutaneously, 1-2 times a day, 1 ml for adult cats and 0.5 ml for kittens.
- For burns, fractures, dislocations and sprains in cats, you can use Traumeel in the form of a gel or apply a bandage moistened with an injection solution to the affected areas to relieve pain and heal wounds.

Pain syndrome in cats
Many diseases in cats are accompanied by pain. Pain aggravates the course of the disease and impairs the quality of life of the animal. With severe pain in cats, overexcitation of the nervous system, disruption of the functioning of individual organs and systems, shock and death of the animal can occur. Most often, cats experience severe pain with the following pathologies:
In many cases, cats do not show that they are in pain. Signs of pain can be identified by the unusual behavior of the animal. The behavior of a cat in pain syndrome can be different:
The highest pain center in cats is in the brain. The appearance and transmission of a pain impulse from the periphery to the brain can be changed with the use of analgesics that affect different parts of the nervous chain. Sensitive nerve receptors protect various substances with an analgesic effect:
The difficulty in choosing an analgesic for cats is that many drugs used in the treatment of humans, dogs and larger pets are dangerous for cats due to high toxicity. Other drugs that have the least side effects should be used strictly at the recommended dosage, as non-compliance with it can lead to death of the cat.
Methimazole sodium, or analgin, can cause changes in the blood in cats (leukopenia, anemia) up to death. This drug is especially dangerous for cats with diseases accompanied by a decrease in the level of leukocytes in the blood (panleukopenia, infectious and inflammatory diseases). Therefore, this analgesic for the treatment of cats should be used with caution.
Paracetamol-containing drugs also have a negative effect on the circulatory system of animals. In addition, paracetamol is toxic to the liver and kidneys. Toxic damage can occur several hours after the cat was given the medicine, in the form of the following symptoms:
In severe cases, after 18-36 hours, the death of the animal occurs.
When using no-shpa injections to eliminate hepatic and renal colic, some animals show individual intolerance to the drug - the hind legs fail, spontaneous excretion of feces and urine occurs.
The toxic dose of aspirin for cats is about 22 mg/kg. Acetylsalicylic acid, especially in the form of not crushed tablets, causes irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, which can lead to ulcerative lesions and bleeding. The drug causes in cats the suppression of bone marrow function and the production of blood cells, liver and kidney failure, up to a coma and death of the animal. Ibuprofen and Indomethacin have a similar effect.
Intolerance in cats in various manifestations can occur to any pain medication administered orally (PO), intramuscularly (IM) or intravenously (IV). Therefore, drugs should be used with caution, according to the prescription of the veterinarian and the dosage should be strictly observed.
Approved drugs
Painkillers for cats are divided into 2 types:
Of the non-narcotic drugs for pain relief in small pets, NSAIDs are most often prescribed - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, most of which are also used in the treatment of people. Their use in many cases in cats leads to the development of acute gastritis a week after the start of administration. There are also specialized NSAIDs for small pets - Quadrisol 5, Ketofen, Rimadil R, but they also irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa (up to 20% of all applications). Therefore, these painkillers for cats should be fed to animals during or after meals. In order to prevent the development of gastritis and stomach ulcers with long-term use of NSAIDs in animals, it is recommended to give Biocorrector RD for cats and traditional histamine H2-receptor blockers:
These should be used throughout the course of treatment using NSAIDs. The problem of chemical gastritis in the appointment of analgesics in veterinary medicine is still unresolved.
Systemic non-narcotic pain medications for cats that can be used at home.

Opioids and their synthetic substitutes for cats.
pancreatitis
According to veterinary statistics, pain in cats is expressed in ¾ of all cases with pancreatitis. The drugs of choice for helping animals with this disease are opioid painkillers:
In severe cases of the disease, the animal may be prescribed a multicomponent analgesic therapy from a combination of Fentanyl and Ketamine at 0.002-0.004 mg / kg every hour. This method of administration of analgesics is more effective and safe due to the reduced dosage.
To fix the analgesic effect, you can use patches with Fentanyl (half or a whole patch, which is changed every 3-4 days). At home, the cat can be given the following analgesics in tablets:
Injuries
If there is no damage to the internal organs, then local remedies are used to relieve mild pain. For dislocations and bruises in cats, an ice pack can be applied to the damaged area, which will temporarily relieve pain. You can use special pain relief patches used for people:
Before fixing the patch, it is necessary to shave the skin on the affected area.
For the treatment of bruises, veterinary gels and sprays are used that have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects:
For more serious injuries, systemic painkillers are used (in tablets and injections).
Oncological diseases
Narcotic analgesics are the most effective pain relievers for cancer in cats. You can buy such a drug only as prescribed by a doctor. Long-term use is addictive, and it is required to periodically change the painkiller or increase the dose.
At home, NSAIDs can temporarily relieve pain in a cat, but they negatively affect the animal's gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, and hematopoietic system. Homeopathic remedies in this case help selectively, and the effect of their use is less.
Sterilization
Neutering (castration) is a very painful procedure for cats and cats. In the first hours after the operation, the animals are depressed, they have no appetite. Therefore, in such cases, it is recommended to help the cat with painkillers. Very often, veterinarians do not warn about this - in the first 3-5 days after the operation, animals need to be given painkillers.
As an analgesic, you can use:
The use of an analgesic after sterilization helps to quickly restore the appetite and strength of the animal.
Toothache
For toothache and traumatic damage to the oral cavity of a cat, the drugs of choice are gels:
Treatment of the oral cavity with infectious inflammation should be aimed at eliminating pathogenic microorganisms. The gum surface near the affected tooth in a cat can be lubricated with a solution of chlorhexidine.
Homeopathic preparations
One of the most effective and safe painkillers is the homeopathic medicine Traumeel. It is produced in the form of a solution for injection and a gel. The use as an anesthetic is carried out as follows:
Traumeel is a complex homeopathic preparation. It not only relieves pain, but also has anti-inflammatory, decongestant, hemostatic, regenerating and antimicrobial effects. It does not irritate the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract of cats and is not toxic to the liver and kidneys. As side effects, the animal may have individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
Another homeopathic remedy - Travmatin, containing extracts of medicinal plants and ASD-2, is effective for eliminating pain in cats with injuries of various origins and severity, with fractures, burns, inflammatory diseases and in the postoperative period. It has a pronounced anti-shock effect and reduces the likelihood of complications during childbirth. It is administered to cats s / c or / m 0.5-2 ml up to 3 times a day. It is also commercially available in the form of tablets and gel (Travmagel). If it is impossible to make an injection at home, adult cats are given 1 tablet, kittens - a quarter. The drug can be used for pain relief for a long time (up to 1-2 months).
In veterinary medicine, it often happens that, in the absence of specific drugs that were originally intended for animals, one has to use what is sold in ordinary pharmacies. There is nothing to worry about if you follow the instructions of the attending veterinarian. It is much worse if a person who did not want to go to the clinic tries to treat his pet himself, using the contents of his home first-aid kit for this. Very often there is only Aspirin. Unfortunately, it is only suitable (!) For humans, treating a cat with it is a very bad idea.
In the relatively recent past, this drug has been widely used in veterinary practice. It was used as a cheap anti-inflammatory and light bactericidal agent. In addition, Aspirin was treated with animals that had problems with increased blood viscosity. The problem is that for them, acetylsalicylic acid can be a strong poison. It should be noted that after Aspirin enters the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, it is metabolized, turning into salicylic acid. So. Cats simply do not have the enzymes in their bodies that are needed to process it.
Because of this, even when taking a microscopic dose of Aspirin, the medicine continues to remain in the blood after two days or more. So if the veterinarian nevertheless prescribed this drug to your cat, Be VERY careful about the dosage and frequency of use. But still, in modern veterinary medicine, the appointment of Aspirin to cats is highly discouraged due to the high risk of poisoning.
If a cat has appeared in your House, think before you not only provide first aid to your pet, but leave the trace preparations in a conspicuous place.
Many substances and drugs used to treat humans should be excluded from the cat's first aid kit (or used only in extreme cases, for health reasons), because their use in cats can cause an effect opposite to what is expected, which poses a threat to the health and life of animals. In particular, such a familiar and "harmless" drug as aspirin, in view of the pharmacokinetics of this species of animals, can cause serious poisoning in a cat and even lead to death (in extreme cases, you can give the cat baby aspirin every other day). The same applies to no-shpe, which can cause paralysis of the hind limbs in a cat. Paradoxically, morphine, which relieves pain in humans, in contrast, increases susceptibility to pain in cats, while serotonin, which increases blood pressure in dogs, lowers blood pressure in cats. Cats are also contraindicated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (naproxen, paracetamol, phenylbutazone), some antibiotics (especially tetracycline), soluble sulfonamides(tabletted sulfonamides can be given) and aminoglycosides.
List of drugs that are better to exclude (except when there is a need for use for health reasons):
- Analgin (metabolites of this drug affect red blood cells and cause severe toxic anemia in cats)
- Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). The toxic dose for cats is 22 mg per kg per day (one Bayer aspirin tablet contains 500 mg). Effects: bone marrow suppression, bleeding, flares. processes in the liver insufficiency, gastric ulcer. Symptoms appear after 4-6 hours: depression, refusal of food, vomiting - possibly with blood, pain in the abdomen, rapid breathing, acute renal failure, weakness, coma, death. First aid: induce vomiting immediately and contact a veterinarian immediately. Prognosis: favorable with early initiation of treatment, unfavorable if treatment is started after the onset of symptoms of poisoning. Aspirin can be administered to cats under the supervision of a veterinarian, in minimal doses, when absolutely necessary. Other preparations with salicylates, etc. are also toxic to cats: for example, bismuth subsalicylate - desmol etc. - very toxic, salicylic ointment- less.
- Paracetamol (panadol, tylenol, acetaminophen, etc.) and other phenol-containing drugs absolutely contraindicated (serious life threatening). It has an effect on red blood cells and the liver. In particularly high doses, it is also nephrotoxic. Symptoms of poisoning appear several hours after ingestion and include: refusal to eat, salivation, vomiting, depression, blood in the urine, gray or brown mucous membranes, difficulty breathing, dark brown urine and blood, swelling of the face and paws, death comes in 18-36 hours. First aid: induce vomiting immediately and contact a veterinarian immediately.
- Amphetamines (phenamine, etc.). Impact on the central nervous system. Death occurs when taking 1.2 mg per kg of body weight. Phenamine tablets come in 10 mg. Symptoms: pale or reddened mucous membranes and skin, restlessness, hyperactivity, fever, high or low blood pressure, increased breathing and heart rate, abnormal heart rhythms, salivation, dilated pupils, tremors, convulsions, shock, death. First aid: do not induce vomiting without a veterinarian, the patient may pass out and choke. Contact a veterinarian immediately. The prognosis depends on the time of initiation of treatment.
Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, indomethacin, piroxicam, phenylbutazone/butadione, Naproxen and many others). Veterinary: carprofen, ketoprofen). Toxicity depends on the drug, the least toxic of them are deliberately administered to cats when there is no other choice. But, for example, ibuprofen is toxic at a dose of 40-100 mg per kg of weight (ibuprofen tablets can be 500 mg each). The main effect is on the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines (ulcer, perforation). Some affect the liver. Many cause kidney failure. Symptoms: abdominal pain, anemia, blood in the stool, vomiting, possibly with blood, lethargy, ataxia, stupor, shock with perforation of the stomach or intestines.
Benzyl benzoate (ointments or suspensions containing this compound can cause severe poisoning in cats even when applied topically)
Zinc poisoning (contained, for example, in Tithes, not to mention zinc ointment, etc. containing the word "zinc" in the title). Contact with the toxin for a short time leads to the usual gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, depression). Prolonged contact can result in hemolytic anemia, jaundice, bloody urine, general weakness and even death.
Iron injections can cause anaphylactic shock. When taken orally, the effect is on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.
No-shpa (with parenteral administration, vomiting and paresis of the hind limbs are noted).
Levamisole (the drug has a cholinomimetic effect, and in case of overdose, as well as in sensitive animals, it can cause neutropenia, as well as severe intoxication).
Cats should not be given medications containing glycerin and essential oils- urolesan, cystenal, pinobine, phytolysin, as this can be fatal. Castor oil, in everyday life castor oil (fatty oil obtained by pressing and then cleaning the seeds of a cultivated castor plant, the Euphorbia family) is also very dangerous for cats.
Remember also:
- cats should not drip albucid!
Iodine . Even a 5% iodine solution can be dangerous for some especially sensitive cats, not to mention more concentrated solutions.
Valerian for cats and cats is a drug. . When the period of excitement ends, cats usually sleep soundly, sometimes three to four hours in a row. Experiments have shown that with the help of valerian, a cat can be narcotic sleep, and at very large doses - death. In addition, valerian causes sexual arousal in them. The fact is that the urine of the feline family during the hunting period contains isovaleric acid, which has an attractive effect for them for this period. Accordingly, the effect of the smell of valerian is precisely on this basis.
Gentamicin is nephrotoxic to cats and can cause deafness.
Cats should not use drops such as naphthyzinum, sanorin, galazolin and other "human" drops from the common cold.
Naphthalene. Do not use it to control moths in a cat house, as it, like phenothiazine, causes hemolytic anemia in cats.
Chlorine. It is highly undesirable to use it to disinfect the room where the cat is kept.
Dangerous consequences can also sedatives and sleeping pills that can cause cardiac arrhythmia and tachycardia, deep sleep, and even coma in cats.
Many plants are also dangerous, after tasting which, a cat can get poisoned (the topic of a separate article).
Be careful with anthelmintics. Do not use anthelmintics for humans ( Decaris, Piperazine)
Also try not to give vitamin preparations created for people.
And finally, the list of drugs, preparations, dangerous substances is very large, so study it carefully, but remember that adverse effects are not necessarily guaranteed when using some of these drugs, it is very possible that they will be insignificant, but do you want to risk your pet depends only on you. Health to you and your pets!

What medicines should not be given to cats. Sometimes human medicines are used to treat cats. If they were prescribed by a veterinarian, then they can be used, but there are medications that should never be given to cats. Each animal species has different chemical processes inside the body. Even different people react differently to medications. There are medicines that are contraindicated or useless for one race of people, while the other, on the contrary, are indicated and have a good effect on the body. It mostly depends on the blood type. The whole world is made up of atoms and chemical processes. And we are no exception in this respect. Good doctors and pharmacists know what processes occur in a living organism from taking this or that drug, but even the best doctor cannot say without tests whether this medicine will help or, on the contrary, kill a living organism.
The chemical processes in the body of cats are different from ours, so before giving medicine, you should consult with a veterinary practitioner. It is practicing veterinarians who know what can and cannot be given to cats.
There are drugs that can simply kill an animal, or make it disabled. Therefore, every cat owner needs to know which medicines should never be given to cats, and which ones can be used, but in limited quantities.
- Analgin (severe poisoning);
- Aspirin (may poison an animal to death);
- antibiotics;
- Benzyl benzoate (dangerous even when used externally, if it is simply present in ointments);
- Berenyl;
- Biseptol;
- Veriben;
- Gentamicin;
- Ivermectin;
- Ketoprofen;
- Corticosteroids (Prednisolone, Dexamethasone, Dexafort);
- Levamisole (may cause severe poisoning);
- Vishnevsky ointment;
- Nise;
- Naphthalene (put from moths, and poison the cat);
- No-Shpa (may cause vomiting and paralysis of the hind limbs);
- Nurofen (Ibuprofen);
- Paracetamol (toxic to cats);
- Panadol (same reaction as from paracetamol);
- Purosan;
- Rimadyl;
- salicylates;
- Theraflu;
- Tylenol (same reaction as from paracetamol);
- Phenol-containing drugs;
- Most non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs;
- Sedatives and sleeping pills;
- With caution, use medicines infused with plants;
- Chlorine (do not use it for disinfection);
If you keep animals at home, then never scatter medicines in places accessible to them. Some cats may play with rustling packaging and swallow them. But my cat Kesha, despite the fact that many pills are bitter, even manages to open the closet and chew them. Now we hide all medicines under lock and key.
Also, do not keep poisonous plants at home. Sooner or later, cats will probably try it. My friend's old cat chewed on the leaves of echinbachia, and almost gave his soul to God. For many years he did not pay attention to this flower at all, and in his old age he decided to feast on it. It’s good that the owner noticed the bitten leaves of the plant, and quickly took the cat to the veterinarian.
Do not use bleach preparations to disinfect the premises and remove feline. And wash cat dishes only with simple laundry soap.
