What medicine can I give the cat?
1. Precautions for cat medication

The physical characteristics of cats are different from those of humans, so it is necessary to choose drugs in a targeted manner. At the same time, cats have poor metabolic ability to some conventional human drugs, such as acetaminophen and aspirin, which will produce adverse reactions. Therefore, before giving drugs to cats, you must consult a veterinarian first.

In addition, the use of drugs should strictly follow the doctor's advice. Cats don't necessarily like taking drugs orally, but they can be mixed with food or given with oral liquid. In addition, the dosage of medicine is also very important, which should be adjusted according to the cat's weight, age, gender and other factors.

2. Introduce the drugs commonly used by cats.

At present, the commonly used drugs for cats are antibacterial drugs, digestive laxatives, painkillers, vitamins, calcium and so on.

For cats with cold, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, you can use drugs to help digestion and laxative. Such as phenol glycerin and montmorillonite powder, can stabilize the stomach and relieve symptoms.

For trauma, postoperative and dental problems in cats, painkillers such as ibuprofen and enfluripine can be used.

In addition, more complex diseases require veterinary prescriptions. For example, drugs needed by cats' urinary system, respiratory system and immune system need to be used reasonably under the guidance of doctors.

3. Precautions for common drugs

For digestive AIDS and laxatives used by cats, we should also pay attention to daily feeding to avoid giving cats cold and too much greasy food to prevent the recurrence of gastrointestinal discomfort in the future.

For painkillers, improper use will cause many uncomfortable symptoms, and may even lead to life-threatening. Before use, the dosage of the medicine should be adjusted according to the weight and variety of the cat. In addition, we should be very cautious about the use of hormone drugs such as dexamethasone.

At the same time, cats should stop taking drugs in time and call the veterinarian to avoid aggravating symptoms.

4. Preventive measures for drug abuse

The correct storage of drugs is also a detail that cannot be ignored when using drugs. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity to ensure the effectiveness of the drug.

Using expired drugs is also a very dangerous thing, and the quality will change over time. Therefore, it is necessary to check the medication time and prohibit the use of expired drugs.

Finally, generally speaking, the use of drugs by cats should be considered comprehensively according to their own cat's physical condition, drug use methods and drug use conditions, and should be used under the guidance of doctors.
