My mom ran over my kitten's paw with the car. She has been giving her Infant Tylenol to ease the pain. Then she heard it was bad for them. Is this true?

Please do not yell at me. My little sister was almost in tears because you're saying her kitten is going to die. She isn't dead and she's not going to die. The vet told me. Don't tell me how to lead my life, please. You don't know all of the other things I do for my kitten or even if its an outside cat. Thank you for all of your postings.

yes you can give your kitten a infant Tylenol, but check for other symptoms like blood in the urine or stool, Give it for about a week

Your kitten needs to get to a vet. Bones may be broken and tylenol will NOT solve that.
Yes, Tylenol is toxic to cats. But, that's besides the point. Your cat needs to get to a vet ASAP.
If you refuse vet care, you are not only being a horrible parent, you are also breaking the law.
Keep the kitten inside at ALL times and this (or worse) won't happen again.

By the time you read this, the kitten will probably be dead. Sorry. Never give any cat human medications without first consulting a vet.

I'm sure that you are not supposed to give a kitten Tylenol. It is bad for their health. You should take it to get medical treatment since you already diagnosed it with Tylenol.

Yes, Tylenol is extremely toxic to cats. They lack the enzyme to break down acetaminophen, which is the main ingredient in Tylenol. You need to stop giving it asap and get your cat to a vet.

yes human medication can be deadly for animals, and the cat should go to the vets her paw could be broken and need a splint to keep it straight and some medication from a vet to ease the pain.

Tylenol is extremely toxic to cats - they cannot metabolize it in their livers. Your kitten needs a vet now for two reasons - poisoning and the original injury. Don't delay!!!!

DO NOT GIVE IT ANY MORE TYLENOL. It could literally make your kitten go to sleep andit won't wake up. If it is hurt, take it to the vet.

Yes. it is bad for their kidneys. You really really need to take the kitten to the vet to have that paw checked.

Please take your kitten to the Vet. You should never give human medication to an animal unless specifically instructed to do so by a Vet.
In the future, please keep your kitten inside. She will be happier and healthier. Best wishes.

do not give your cat tylenol, It has aspirin aka acetameniphen,in it and that does and will kill cats. My mother asked our vet the same thing about giving aspirin to cats to help with pain and he said only if you want to kill your cat, aspirin kills cats.
