Re: torbutrol - is this safe for cats?

That's the patch, right? I've had them with a couple of my animals. I 
think you have to be careful with the amount of med used with them. I 
ended up taking the patches off long before the recommended time. They 
made my guys dopey. Zevon seemed down right sick from his. I put them on 
oral pain meds instead so I could monitor the dose more carefully.
