How do I know what medication is safe to give my cat?

There really aren't any over-the-counter medications that I would say are safe for kitty cats. Typically it's going to be prescribed by a veterinarian, which would be safe because we're basing a prescription on an exam, which we always do.

You can always give us a call. Call your veterinarian or Four Paws at Fulshear Veterinary Clinic and we will guide you. We will need to know if you have leftover medication from a different patient or another pet. Is it safe to give or not? For us to fully answer that question, a doctor-patient relationship is necessary. Therefore, you'd need to be a current client. Always call your veterinarian because there are some drugs that are safe for cats and then some drugs that are not. Cats are not small dogs. Their bodies process drugs completely differently. There are some medications that do cross species that you can use, but there's also a lot that don't.
