My cat had a catheter (?) yesterday due to a blockage.
I was given buperex in a suringe.
I arrived at closing and was rushed out the door and today they close at 1 and haven't returned my call.
My question is ... am I to shoot the medication in his throat? I read online to just apply to his lips??
I don't want to make matters worse by medicating him wrong.
I'm also a bit concerned in reading this med can have affects on the kidneys. I was told he could have kidney damage just from the blockage... so he gives me medication like this??
They also gave me antibotic pills which ill get to enjoy giving him later tonight.
Ah! Why do vets make it so difficult not to mention the poor animal who has to suffer thru our inexperience?
Thanks for any help.
