WARNING! If your cat is going to have surgery anytime soon, you MUST read this information. It was on channel 2 news today. Do not allow any vet to give your cats the drug BUPENORPHINE no matter what they tell you. It is an opioid and it can kill your cat or cause permanent harm. I've had several cats prescribed Bupenorphine over the years by 3 different vets - all with disastrous side effects after just one dose - so I stopped giving it after that first dose There are other, much safer options for your cat's pain relief. There is also a homeopathic remedy for pain that works extremely well and is 100% safe for cats - I've used it so I know it works.
Bupenorphine can be prescribed under several names such as Buprenex, Simbadol, Belbuca, and Zorbium (for transdermal application). All of them are extremely dangerous and can be fatal to your cat. Bupenorphine is "off-label" for use in cats and the horrible side-effects that I've known for years, is finally coming to light for the public to learn. I've expressed my concerns to various vets and they all told me it was safe - but it is NOT and now there is proof.
Vets are not always the best source of information. They are told certain things work so they pass them on to our cats without any concern. Always be concerned. Ask questions. Do the research.
