Health & Wellbeingmy cat is about 15 years old or more, a weight aboiut 7-7.5lbs. he has had antibiotic injections two times within the past four months for severe gingivitis. he has lost a tooth recently and i am unable to get into the vet for another two weeks. woul
Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to recommend using any drug without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for Rudy. I strongly urge you not to give him the prednisone, as they can only be given to cats under specific situations and if they are heathy. Give his vet a call to let them know he is in pain, and you can see if they can prescribe some pain medication for him. Best of luck.
