My cat is tearing up the carrier. Can I give post-surgery meds now?

Question

I took 2 mamas & 3 kittens to be fixed today. Dr gave meds for each 1 to shoot down their throats said i should do it tomorrow before I let them go. They are all in a carrier together. Im going to find homes for the kittens but I need to know if I can give the meds to the mama cats now bc they are going to tear the carrier up. I don't have a room I can put them in. They were someone's down the road who quit feeding them. Wouldn't take them to get fixed So I did. I don't want them to get hurt.

It sounds like you're juggling a lot of work with all those cats! However, if the vet who did the procedure said to start the medication tomorrow, I would recommend that you *not* give the medication tonight. It is very likely that the vet gave an injection of a similar medication already while the cats were at the hospital, that will stay in their system until tomorrow, and that's why the vet wanted the next dose given tomorrow. If you give it tonight, that could lead to an overdose of the medication in the cat's system. So, do your best to follow the instructions on the medication as directed. I hope this helps!
