NO! unless you want him to die
From PetPlaceUses of Alprazolam
Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety in dogs and cats.
Specific uses of alprazolam include treatment of thunderstorm phobia and other phobias, separation anxiety, and situational fears (such as car travel and veterinary office visits).
Like other benzodiazepines, alprazolam may be used as a muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant or appetite stimulant. It might also be useful for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.
The typical dose range for alprazolam in dogs is 0.01 to 0.05 mg per pound (0.02 to 0.1 mg/kg) given orally every 12 hours.
In cats, the dose is 0.125 to 0.25 mg per cat as needed up to every 12 hours.
Alprazolam is a mild tranquilizer used to reduce anxiety
in dogs and cats. It is classified chemically as a benzodiazepine tranquilizer. Other drugs in this class include diazepam
(Valium) and clorazepate (Tranxene). The dosage is typically .01 to .05 mg per pound.
So an 11 pound cat might take a single 0.25 mg pill for travel for instance. However
this should NEVER be done without a vets supervision. There can be serious side
effects. In some animals, alprazolam may cause a paradoxical reaction and may cause excitement or worsen aggression.
no u would have to be an idiot to give your cat xanax
Au Contraire my friend! Vets prescribe Xanax for cats quite often.
No.... your dog will immediately loose contious and die
Xanax stays in the system of most mammals for about 48 to 72 hours. 1 milligram of Xanax would stay in the system of a cat for about this long.
although it is hard to overdose on xanax, you should never give an animal human prescriptions. body chemistries are very different between a cat and a person. you can pick up a sedative from any vet and they are relatively inexpensive
I give up, What?
Xanax is not a cat medication. You should call your veterinarian.
why do u wanna kill a cat!?!?Excuse me, why wouldn't you want to kill a cat. I think that if you doubled an adult dosage on a cat it would do the trick, depending on the size, weight, and girth of the animal. My question is not getting caught, how does one achieve the perfect crime? (concerning feline homicide)
Xanax is prescribed for panic attacks. Panic attacks have been known to mimic a heart attack, but the Xanax has the ability to quiet the concerns.
no it doesn't
Yes, you can give your cat or dog Xanax. You should call your vet to get the recommended dosage and start with the minimal. Animals digest the drug differently than humans do so please don't think you can figure out what is best. Consult with a veterinarian first! My 85lb dog was recommended to take a 1-4mg dosage during a thunderstorm. I gave him 1mg and he passed out in the middle of the floor for hours!
That depends upon the quantity that was ingested. However, it is not healthy for cats to ingest xanax, or any other drug intended for humans, as a general rule.
can you give a cat antacid pill
It is not recommended that you give your cat Phenergan. If your cat is sick, it is better for her to get it out of her system.
yes u can give a cat meat.
