I know Martha Mooney Waltien has a lot of experience with Bupranex for all her calici cats. I used Tramadol Transdermal narcotic for my stoma girls. They are all good to a degree. I don't know what the long term effects are. Only know that steroids long term are detrimental to the ongoing health of the feline.

Jackie Platt Here is a site on Metacam. You sometimes have to take some things with a grain of salt but I really worry about the use of Metacam. I would have the Feline Chronic Renal Disease group look at your numbers from the blood work and advise you. They are FABULOUS. Here is the Metacam site: http://www.metacamkills.com/

Martha Mooney Waltien, squeaker is still on the atopica and we will reevaluate when we see her in about three weeks. She is afraid to take her off just yet. No more prednisalone. She is still on gabapentin(pain med pill) and that is it. She is still doing well and I am hoping at next visit we can lower atopica dosage. Jackie Platt we did use the transdermal bupanorphine on squeaker for awhile too to get her comfortable. I have her that twice a day in her ear flap along with the other gabapentin pill twice a day also. This was the best for her and it made het comfortable with no pain and she was able to eat and become the loving kitty that I knew was in there.

Jackie Platt " Buprenorphine is an opioid, and thus can produce typical opioid effects and side effects such as euphoria and respiratory depression, its maximal effects are less than those of full agonists like heroin and methadone. At low doses Buprenorphine produces sufficient agonist effect to enable opioid-addicted individuals to discontinue the misuse of opioids without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. The agonist effects of Buprenorphine increase linearly with increasing doses of the drug until it reaches a plateau and no longer continues to increase with further increases in dosage. This is called the "ceiling effect." Thus, Buprenorphine carries a lower risk of abuse, addiction, and side effects compared to full opioid agonists. "http://www.naabt.org/faq_answers.cfm?ID=2 But, I swear my dental vet said that it is important to space apart the use of the drug (we use oral Bupranex in a syringe, pre=measured, when we do use it) or else it has less of a therapeutic effect. I recall he said to do it only 2x a week for chronic use, and it is used every 8 hours after a major surgery for a few days.
