Yes, it's potent stuff. Cat receive it either as an injection or orally. It takes effect in roughly half an hour, lasting about 8 hours before another administration is necessary. Cats usually react negatively to opiates, but buprenorphine is an exception. That's one reason vets use it if they can receive the necessary special certification.
