Can you give benedral to cats?
No! Benadryl is a human drug, for human use only! If you must give your cat medication, take it to a vet and have them diagnose it. The medicine they perscribe may be similar to Benadryl, but it really isn't safe to put it anywhere near a cat.
How do you euthanize pet cat?
DO NOT do this yourself. If you want your beloved pet humanely euthanized, please have a Veterinarian do this. You can make an appointment with your Vet to come to your house to humanely euthanize your pet. Just don't try to do this yourself as you could end up causing much suffering for you pet which I am sure you do not wish to do.
How do you euthanize cat that is terrified of vet and you dont have the money to pay over 100 anyway?

I need to give my cat 1mg of benadryl per pound but idon't know how much that is in teaspoon or tbs?
I was going to give my 10lb cat 1.25 ml of Benadryl. I got one little drop on the back of his tongue and he went BALLISTIC! I don't recommend the liquid. I went back and purchased the pill form. If you have trouble with that, they make medicine pouches you can purchase at PetSmart. It's a small treat with a whole for the pill. The cat gobbles it down without realizing he has taken any medication. Plus, this way it is far less tramatic for him.
Is it bad to euthanize a cat if it pees everywhere?
There are other ways to "potty train" a cat. Also I know that my sister's cat was peeing everywhere, even down the heat vents and she took it to the vet and it had a urinary tract infection. Please look into all options such as taking your cat to the vet or training before euthanazing your cat, that is a FINAL option. Improved answer: There are ALWAYS other possible solutions. NEVER under any circumstances should you euthanize a cat if it is peeing everywhere. It may have a medical condition or be under stress. Even if you aren't willing to put the effort in to take care of the problem or if alternatively you have tried EVERYTHING, there is always someone out there who will take the cat and be willing to care for it. Please look for such a person or a shelter and do not kill your cat. Let's not be eloquent about it and disguise it with the word "euthanize", you are ultimately murdering your own sweet pet. I know from experience: My mom put a lot of effort into trying to retrain out cat. I, however, felt more effort could have put into it. Looking back on the situation, I should have tried harder to retrain my cat. If I were in the situation now I would put 200% effort in. Little did I know that my mom would take my cat to the vet to be killed. I would have much preferred she found a new home. Please, please, please never do such a cruel thing do a poor cat who doesn't understand or can't control it. :(
Can you euthanize a cat in your own home?
No, you cannot. However, if your cat is far too sick or cannot move, you can ask for a vet to visit the house and administer the injection there. Never attempt to euthanize the cat yourself, as you can easily cause much pain and suffering to the animal.
Can insulin euthanize a cat?
To euthanize a cat, the humane thing to do is take the cat to a vet. The veterinarian uses sodium pentanol and a barbiturate so the cat passes painlessly. Insulin will kill a cat, but the cat will needlessly suffer.

Is it normal for cats to drool after children's Benadryl?
Before giving your cat any medication, please consult your vet first! Only your vet will be able to tell you the correct dosage for your cat. A cat drooling after giving Benadryl seems to be common. A cat will drool or foam at the mouth when eating something with an unpleasant taste, so it is likely that Benadryl does not taste pleasant to a cat. If you are at all worried, take your cat to the vet immediately. It is very easy to overdose a cat on human medication, and if this is the case the cat will need emergency treatment.
Where can you put your cat up for adoption where they don't euthanize?
When looking for a shelter for a pet that you can no longer care for - it is best to specifically look for "No Kill Shelters." These shelters specialize in taking in pets and do not euthanize the animals if an immediate adoption is not possible.
I think My cat was bitten by something poisonous is there anything I can do I don't have a lot of money?
Your best option is to take your cat to your veterinarian and be honest immediately about exactly how much money you can afford to spend on your cat. If your cat was bitten by something poisonous and you can't afford to treat, the vet may be able to humanely euthanize your cat so it doesn't suffer an agonizing death.
How much benadryl should you give an 11 lb cat?
It is safe to give cats benadryl when you have the proper dosing. Consult your veterinarian to find out how many mg per pound you should be giving before hand. Also, ask if there are any possible side effects or interactions if your pet is currently on medacation. Benadryl is often used by veterinarians as a sedative as well as an antihistamine, but there are other options.

If your cat is sneezing and has watery eyes can you give him some benadryl?
Never give a cat human medicine. Human medicine is much stronger than cat or dog medicine and you could easily overdose the cat. The sneezing and watery eyes could be a sign of Respiratory Infection (cat flu). Take it to a vet just in case.
