Metoprolol belongs to the group of medicines known as beta-blockers. It is a medicine which is used to treat several different medical conditions. It works on the heart and blood vessels. Metoprolol slows down the activity of your heart by stopping messages sent by some nerves to your heart.
A normal cat takes between 20 to 30 breaths per minute, with a relaxed cat measuring on the lower end of the scale. Call your veterinarian if the rate is too rapid, or if your cat is panting â the latterâs not really normal in cats, at least not the way we see it in dogs.
And yet, I bet not one cat lover in a thousand can pass a pop quiz on what the normal vital signs are in a cat. Can you? Do you know how to take your catâs temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate? Do you know how to assess what's normal for each of those things? Don't worry if the answer is no; the good news is itâs pretty easy to learn.
