I took my cat to the vet to care for the build up of crystals that kept him from peeing. When I brought him home they gave me Buprenex for his pain. I gave him very little, I don't care much for powerful drugs.  I now believe my cat is having an allergic reaction to Buprenex. He is having trouble breathing and the water I've given him is coming back up. I live in a very small town that is about an hour away from our vet and can not get him to the vet right now. What I would like to know is what can I do to help him through the night?  Please I know should take him to the vet but I'm unable to do so until Monday morning. 

I appreciate any advice I can get.

If it's a breathing problem, then that is an emergency that cannot wait. You need to take him to the vet NOW. He might not make it until Monday.

I would call any emergency vets that are open and have them guide you through the process of figuring out if you need to bring him in tonight.

There is also the Animal Poison Control Hotline. I'm not sure if they can help with an allergic reaction, but here's the info:

24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think that your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435. A $65 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card.

Call a vet right now and ask whether you need to bring him in right now. I'm sorry!

I'm very happy to say he is better. He is eating and drinking on his own. I am still worried he might get blocked again but I think that's just me being a worrier.

Same here and thank you. He was not pleased with my photo taking.
