Can i give a very small dose of ibuprofen to my 9yr old 18lb. cat for a very painful earache? his ears look perfect inside but he's hurting bad.

NO.: Ibuprofen is not safe in dogs and cats. Please see your vet. There are animal-specific antiinflammatories and pain meds that will help your cat feel better.
