Or try a Fentanyl patch (often called duragestic patches). That's a patch that they shave the cat and stick it on them, lasts for 3-4 days. Very effective pain relief. I'd be very concerned if my vet didn't offer pain meds, and then when pressed offered aspirin, that should be one of the last things for pain, yes, it's good for a blood thinner, but NOT the best choice for pain. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/fentanyl.htm
