Bob - my vets get buprenorphine in a transdermal cream which gets applied to the inner ear. The cream is specially compounded by a vet compounding pharmacy they use. I find it very effective and certainly helps not having to give it orally when the mouth hurts.

Thanks Sheri... The medication I mentioned ( Suboxone) is the brand name for Buphenorphine ( which I could not recollect at the time of my note) I have a LOT of experience with _ Buphenorphine_ from my months with my Little Yogi who was plagued with Uveitis... He was on it quite a while... I gave a syringe to Gilbert and it appeared to help a bit... may be the best choice... I don't know, but wanted to ask the group if they've used other things... Particularly since Gilberts mouth hurts quite a bit and I'd actually prefer something injectable or something that could be added to his food.... The only reliable way to medicate him right now without causing him discomfort is subq ... so I guess he'll have to have a moments discomfort in exchange for a longer period of more comfort... > _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
