I just want to know if there is anything I can do for her? She is so unhappy and the dr. didn't give her any pain med's just antibiotics. My mom said maybe I could put some Lavender Oil under her lil' blanket but I don't want to make her more nauseous. I'm waking for the dr. to call but she doesn't seem to think that my cat feels pain when I give her Insuline twice a day and I know it hurts her! Please Help!

No Tylenol, it's poisonous to animals. If she is diabetic I would definitely consult the vet about pain meds. Surely they can give her something.

Do not give her anything that is for humans. Human meds are not for animals. I was told that Tylenol will kill a cat.
To your question can cats feel pain. Yes....and they need a pain reliever from the vets. I am so surprised that you vet didn't give you something for her.
I have a cat with diabetes also and I give a shot twice a day. I give her a treat right after the shot so she puts up with the discomfort. I have a cat that had an operation recently and the vet gave her pain meds.
I think I would look for a different vet. One with some consideration for the comfort of your pet.
Good luck!

You need to demand pain meds for your cat from your vet. And when this crisis is over, I would suggest you shop around for a new vet. I have had both diabetic and non-diabetic kitties that had tooth extractions. My Vet sent us home with pain meds and antibiotics as a matter of course.

I would call the vet back up and ream him out. How humane is it to pull 8 teeth and not give the damn cat medicine? That's horrible. Call them up and demand pain meds, or you're going to turn them in for animal abuse.

Poor kitty. OMG. I feel so sorry for her. Why don't you call the vet and see if it's ok to give her a tylenol? If it is I would go get her the kind for infants because it is liquid. Just send someone to get it for you because you don't need to leave her there by herself.

Don't ask the Vet - TELL the Vet to give/recommend something!
