Cat Anti-inflammatory

Only two NSAIDs are FDA-approved for cats: meloxicam (sold under several brand names) and robenacoxib (sold under the brand name ONSIOR).

Meloxicam is approved for cats as a one-time-only injection to control pain and inflammation after spaying, neutering, and orthopedic surgery; the injection is given under the cat’s skin before surgery.

Robenacoxib is also approved for cats to control pain and inflammation after spaying, neutering, and orthopedic surgery. The drug should be used once daily for no more than three days and is available as either a tablet given by mouth or an injection given under the cat’s skin.
