Buprenex/buprenorphine. It is what I have used in many cats, it's very effective, dose is easily adjusted for each cat, and it's simple to give. I get it from Diamndbackdrugs;

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. Amani -Original

Thank you for loving him so hard during his last days. It will undoubtedly be difficult to see him go but it's the price we pay to give them the quality of life they deserve. My Mo was on buprenorphine in his last week. It was in little syringes that went right on the gums/tongue, maybe it would

While you are away from home, you could place pillows or soft mats around his favorite up high places in case he falls and block off stairs. This way he could still be free to roam. I hope you will find some meds for him and he can be close to you when the time comes. As for not getting
