My cat is sick and in pain, can I give her Morphine to stop pain and Mirtazipine to stimulate appetite? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

I would not give her morphine without seeing a vet as this can cause major respiratory depression and severe nausea. Also without seeing if she is healthy for morphine, it could make her get worse. The mirtazapine can be given for an appetite stimulant but cats can only tolerate 3.75mg (1/4 tablet of a 15mg mirtazapine) every 72 hours. If at all possible, I would strongly consider having a vet take a look at her to see if there is anything else they can do for her and to figure out why she isn't feeling well. I hope this helps.
