Finn will be ok, you don't to take him into the vet. Studies have shown that it was well tolerated by cats at even 10 times the recommended dose, and adverse side effects were not seen. I hope this helps!

Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) can be used in cats, but there may be better options. Legally, we are prohibited from providing a dose for medications, even OTC ones, in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR ( veterinarian-patient-client relationship). You will need to have Milkshake seen by your veterinarian to confirm this is a safe option for him. https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/dimenhydrinate/

The best anti-nausea medications are prescription, and I always prefer to use injectible anti-nausea medications because they work faster and better. My favorite anti-nausea medication for cats is Cerenia ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952775 ). I would recommend contacting your veterinarian to let them know that Joey is still nauseated and see what medication they would recommend. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Joey feels better soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Acepromazine and diazepam at appropriate doses should be appropriate for post operative sedation and relaxation. However, neither of these drugs provide any pain control. I would consider adding an opioid-buprenorphine is my preferred opioid in cats- but since it is not available you may want to consider hydromorphine or fentanyl (in hospital) or tramadol (at home). NSAIDs are also an option but these have no sedative effect.
