Doan's pills are essentially tylenol and sodium or magnesium salicylate. There is no muscle relaxing effect. They are basically an analgesic/antiinflammatory. Doan's pills have been censored by the FTC for claiming to relieve back pain better than other drugs of this type. They were unable to prove this claim. They are probably less effective than Aleve or Motrin and have the same warnings about side effects.

Nope, cats need their own medicine, so do dogs, sheep, ferrets, and on. I'm glad to see that most answers here state that. Especially that the Vet Techs had input. I liked the pillowcase idea too. When I bathed my cats, which was very infrequently, usually when they needed a flea bath before flea meds became modified for cats, I used my sink, put a towel on the bottom, had a pail of warm water for wetting the cat and one for rinsing. A part of the problem in bathing a cat is the sound of the water running. It helps to have a second person to either do the washing and rinsing or holding. Talk constantly to the cat, soothing it. Do the psychotic cat first. Possibly this will make him less psychotic if it doesn't hear the other cat yowling. And try not to be apprehensive or angry. The animals will pick up on that and like kids, feed into it. Hope this helps some. I've only been lucky enough to have 2 cats that loved water.

Momentum Muscle Relaxer

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer. I have used "Momentum" which contains magnesium salicylate, the same ingredient in Doans and it really does relax the painful muscles a lot. It works much better than just plain aspirin alone. I've called it a life saver, it worked that good.

If it's a vet prescribed medicine and you follow the dosage exactly. Also, make sure to stay with the cats until it wears off. So, that may be 8-12 hours. You'll need to keep the cats in the same room as you and keep an eye on them at all times.

It's not a muscle relaxer. You'd need a prescription for a muscle relaxer. It's simply a drug that is comprised of a few different anti-inflammatory drugs.

No they do not contain a muscle relaxer. It is a pain medication with a couple different types of over the counter pain meds in them.
