Centrally acting muscle relaxant that depresses polysynaptic reflexes in the spinal cord and subcortical areas, reducing skeletal muscle hypertonicity and spasm.
IV route for acute severe muscle spasm (tetanus, strychnine toxicity, metaldehyde). Administer slowly to avoid seizures. Sedation and ataxia expected. Do not exceed 330mg/kg/day.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for cat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Methocarbamol Injectable pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in cat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
