I posted somewhere else I forgot about our pets forum . First of all I am not very original with names. I have four cats all strays that assholes just leave in the woods behind my house. There's white cat, black cat gray cat and our newest arrival orange cat. We found him with his leg almost mutilated off, they did save his leg but he can't walk well. I have to carry him up and down the stairs and pick him up to sleep with me. He had a huge tumor on the side of his face. He had surgery last week on his face/ear and has been wearing a collar, except to eat. I just can't understand why or how a person could treat an animal like this. I would love to hurt these people! Anyways, long story short his leg and his tumor operations were costly but wotth it. Now this is the crazy part. My cat gets 3 mg of Suboxone/buphenrphine every 6 hours.  He seems to love it. I have it in syringes that is difficult to spray in his mouth pisses me off that it gets waste! Damn it after all this he better give me son

How long will the cat be on that medicine? Couldn't imagine going through a wd whilst tapering of that amount of daily bupe, and not being able to communicate that I don't feel well or in pain because the taper is to much to quick,if I was a cat. Its bad enough as a human.     

 
We only kept him the old boy on it for 3 days, he had surgery and his little lamp thing for his head came off and he tore open his stitches really bad. I took him to an emergency vet and he gave me 21 syringes! I called my doctor on Monday and he said to stop giving it to him and give him half a human 81 mg dose of aspirin. He was pissed off at the ER doctor gave him that much to begin with. I'm glad I stopped right away, he's old and in bad shape but would hate to have him withdraws also. My vet who I trust said aspirin will work fine. Thanks for asking! And to be honest before you asked I never thought of him going through wd's, so glad I called his vet!

I had that for one of my kitty's too @Heavenlee, when he had surgery for a cancer scare. Same deal too - pre-dosed syringes and I'd just squirt the liquid in his mouth. Really helped his pain. I WISH it helped my pain that well!!!

 
You know. The vets here in the UK have been prescribing metacam for all pain and they don't seem to care that it can damage kidneys. The one thing you must not give them is paracetamol ( Tylenol in US) I think ?

Our pets mean so much to us and we do all we can. I habe given small amounts of oramorph to my old boy Baxter, when he was in his last days. I've had 3 die in the last 2 years and it hurts but I find vets here are money grabbing bastards. They charged me so much for prednisolone and I asked if it was the same as I bet and was told it was specially made and formulated for pets. It was exactly the same packaging and tablets mi got stiffed for £70 and £90 for 7 X 5mg pills. I habe to take 8 a day when I'm flare and it costs 0.40 PENNIES for a weeks supply. How do they live with themselves @Heavenlee ?

good on you for saving cats. I feed many who visit 

 
@Pooner2013 and @Jools I'm just glad that they can give meds that pets do not hurt or are not in pain, but it's a sad state of affairs that we don't help humans that are in pain. @Jools I would have done the same thing for your boy Baxter. I know we're all probably the same, it's so much harder to see an animal hurt than a human. I guess we are desensitized to it, and that's sad in itself!

 
Cats do take bup but not suboxone. That's a hysterical notion though ...my kitty has a bit of an addiction problem so we're going to send her off to kitty rehab and get her on suboxone. That's kind of funny?.

My sisters do is on 100mg trams and gapentin 400mg after having alot of health issues with her weineremier, I think t is how y spell it she's had over 10,000 pounds of surgery luckily she s insured but now we've decided to canc the insurance and just keep givi her the meds as she is a sorry lookin thing beautiful dog but I don't think she my sis that is can bear the loss factor as she is so attached to her dog but her husbands just walked out on her poor girl anyway the dog seems fine when she is on the meds but when not she looks like she is in pain. How we love our pet's so much they are part of the family. Peace 

 
I was reading the last post and the title of this thread and it got me thinking that it's probably easier for a dog to get a prescription than for a human being these days.

 
Yes I agree 2earls what a strange world we are all in, maybe I go to the vet next time I m out of my meds ha ha. All the best to you guys over the pond. Rec

There was recently a news piece on our local station here that said some people now are inflicting injury on their pets in order to score meds through the vet, not for the animal they just injured, but for themselves. Ughhh.

 
Had a few rabbits over the years and every time they were in pain we came home with a vial buprenorphine to be given orally or subq every 12 hours. 10ml vial cost about $5

Wow 10k on vet bills. That's crazy, but you're going to do what you can for your pets. Rather give 10k to a dog than some people if I even had 10k to begin with.

That's not anything I could ever do I cud never hurt an animal and wouldn't have anything to do with anyone that would its disgraceful my sister s dog was sick and got tramadol and gapenpentin dog died anyway but don't think it s cheap to get for animals from a vet if any thing it's alot more the meds were exactly the same as human ones though.i had to stop recently due to family issues been to hell and back to cut a long story short I may write on the correct section what's happened.still very raw though.But I wouldn't have anything to do with people doing Amy to animal s as I said above

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
