My cat recently passed away and I have a number of left over medications that I will throw out.

But before I do, I thought I'd see if they can be of use to any of the cat lovers we have on here.

4 x 100mg Gabapentin tabs.

11 x 0.1ml Vetergesic in syringes for oral application.

50 x 5mg WP Carbimazole: medicine for treating hyperthyroidism.

1 x Profender Allwormer for 2.5 - 5kg cats.

6 x 4mg Zofran Ondansetron wafers to treat severe nausea and vomiting.

1mg syringe of Mirtazapine - for appetite stimulation.

1 bottle of Otoflush.

Pick up in Melbourne CBD.

@mods, take down if this isn't allowed, totally understand.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Your vet may take them to give to owners that can’t afford the meds otherwise, I know our vet does this.

Otherwise consider donating it to the Lort Smith. The carbimazole especially will be coveted.

Ask your vet, they will offer them to fellow pet owners in hardship. That's what we did with Punkin's renal food
