I have been reviewing the estimate that my vet gave me for the claw/toe amputation she will be doing on my cat on Tuesday. My cat is having two claws/incompletely formed toes from between the extra toes on her front feet. These are the pain management meds that are listed:
Torbugesic injection
Metacam injection (I plan to ask for a substitution)
Buprenorphine
Is it really safe for her to be on three pain meds at the same time? It seems like a lot of drugs.
I have a high pain threshold so I've never taken powerful pain medication after surgery, but of course I want my cat in as little pain as possible. I've just never seen so many pain medications for one surgery. She didn't have any after her spay (done at a shelter) and she was totally fine.
