How many times a year can you give your cat the 3 day dosage??
-
Under the guidance of a veterinarian, Onisor may be used in an extra-label manner (not consistent with manufacturer labeled directions), based on the individual needs of your cat. There is no data to set a maximum number courses prescribed per year. Please consult your veterinarian regarding Onsior as they will have the most comprehensive medical history for your cat.

Side effects? After giving first dose, my kitten passed out (fell asleep & doesn't want to wake up like a teenager). Is that normal for her to fall asleep so heavily? I'm assuming just from exhaustion from being in pain, just want to double check. ?

I would read the package insert with the RX information for side effects. Never take someone's word on a subject because not all cats react the same to a prescription. (The link below is identical to my insert that I received from my vet.) Renal failure is always a risk with pain relievers and cats. But on the brighter side, My cat had an injury and our vet prescribed this for his pain, and it is such a low dose that the weight of my cat was able to handle it. I don't know about a kitten. I do believe it helped with my cats inflammation and pain that he was having, because he did show improvements after taking it. Getting up, moving around more. I would 100% recommend this product for people like me with older animals. My only complaint is that the vet sticker they gave me does not say how long it takes to expire. Its expiration is blank. So I'm hopeful that because they are in sealed foil pill pockets that they would last the normal shelf life of a human medicine. But anyone with an accurate answer feel free to respond. I am very glad to find this same medicine, which works, without the huge vet bill. https://vetrxdirect.naccvp.com/index.php?u=country&p=msds&prodnum=1131031&id=1131031&m=product_basic_view

Rosey, Onsior (robenacoxib) has the potential for causing lethargy or decreased activity while on the medication. Drowsiness or dizziness is not noted as a potential adverse effect. If the pain has hindered your cat’s ability to fall asleep then this pain-relieving medication may help your pet sleep. If drowsiness or decreased activity persists please follow up with your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Can a cat die from this drug??
-
Pamela, We are sorry to hear about your cat. Onsior is a potent NSAID and is labeled specifically for the relief of pain during and after surgery or other painful procedures, for a maximum of three days. Onsior can cause side effects that could lead to death in a cat. This is usually due to an underlying disease which may or may not have been previously diagnosed by your pet's veterinarian. Take care, VetRxDirect
