I am happy to announce that the FDA has finally licensed/labelled an oral NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) for the use in CATS!!!
This is exciting news and the first of its kind in feline medicine. For far too long, cats haven't had all the medicinal options as we have had for dogs.
This new drug is called Onsior (robenacoxib). This drug is the equivalent to Rimadyl, Deramaxx, Previcox, or Meloxicam in dogs. I am hoping this opens the door for more options for our feline friends when it comes to improving their quality of life and quality of medical care.
