How long does Onsior last in cats?

I gave my cat a dose of Onsior yesterday because she seemed to be in a bit of pain after her vet visit. I'm wondering how long I can expect the effects to last. Should I be thinking about giving her another dose soon, or is it supposed to provide relief for a longer period?

Answer

You’re concerned about how long Onsior will relieve your cat's pain following a recent vet visit and whether another dose is needed soon.

  • Onsior is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain relief in cats.
  • Typically, Onsior provides relief for about 24 hours after administration.
  • Do not give another dose without consulting your veterinarian first.

Onsior is designed to manage pain and inflammation in cats for short periods, typically lasting around 24 hours per dose. It's important to follow the dosing guidelines provided by your veterinarian, as inappropriate dosing can lead to serious health issues. If your cat seems uncomfortable after 24 hours, or if her symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to consult your veterinarian for further guidance.
