Can I give my cat's metoclopramide shot under skin instead of muscle?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 14 years and 1 month old

My vet prescribed anti vomiting injection Cerucal for my car into muscle. I can give only under skin injection and cat is bad. Can I give her the same injection under skin?

Hello. This medication is known as metoclopramide in the US, & it is labeled to be administered under the skin in addition to in the muscle, so yes, you can give this to your cat under the skin. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
