My dog is on Clopidogrel. Can I give him Onsior for pain relief?
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco and double-checking if these medications are safe to use together. Clopidogrel and Onsior are safe to give at the same time, as long as they are medications that are both prescribed by your veterinarian to be used by Jack. Onsior is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication that should not be used if cats have underlying liver or kidney disease, as Onsior can make these diseases worse. If the Onsior has been prescribed by your veterinarian for Jack (and not a different cat in the house) it is OK to give him this along with the Clopidogrel he usually receives. If the Onsior has been prescribed for a different cat in the household, I would not give this to Jack without Jack first being evaluated by your veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!

My senior dog has arthritis on Onsior. Can she get more pain relief?
Yes, I think Honey would benefit from some extra pain relief. I would speak to her vet about having a prescription for another pain reliever for her, such as an opioid which can be used safely in combination with NDSAIDs (Onsior is an NDSAID).

My old cat is lethargic. Is it arthritis from the rain? Can I give Onsior?
It is very likely that he feels the weather in his bones and cats do suffer from arthritis. If the Onsior was prescribed for him by your vet, you can give it to him. If not, I would definitely wait until tomorrow and call your vet and ask whether you can give it to him. We are not allowed by law to authorize or prescribe medication.

My cat is limping. Can I give him Onsior or Bufferin for pain relief?
I'm sorry to hear that Elijah is limping and painful! Unfortunately, I don't think it's advisable to give him the Onsior that you have on hand without having first checked his bloodwork to assess his kidney values. Cats are very sensitive to pain medications, particularly NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like Onsior, so they should only be given when specifically prescribed for the incident at hand. Aspirin (like Bufferin) is highly toxic to cats and should not be given under any circumstances. Since he seems so uncomfortable, it would be ideal to take him to an ER this weekend for more urgent evaluation. The ER vet will be able to prescribe pain medication for him. I hope that he feels better soon!

Can I give my cat leftover Onsior for a swollen eye from herpes?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Al! I feel so bad for him based on your description. If the Onsior isn't expired and is the appropriate dosing for his current weight then you can give him a tablet. Do not give it if he isn't eating or is vomiting. Do not give extra and follow the specific instructions, once daily for no more than 3 days. Call your Vet Monday before giving anymore. Good luck!
