Can I give my cat NSAIDs? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
You can give your kitty NSAIDs as long as a veterinarian prescribes them. Cats have a unique metabolism and cannot tolerate NSAIDs for very long without having damage done to their kidneys. Usually, they're prescribed or given by us, and it's a very short course, no more than three days. They're formulated differently from the NSAIDs that people have. They're completely different non-steroidal anti-inflammatories for cats. So it's not just a little smaller piece of what a human would get. It's a totally different thing, made specifically with cats in mind, considering their unique metabolism because cat delivery systems can be challenging.
