Can you give a cat infants tylenol for pain?

don't know.

can you check with your vet?

Why not take him to a vet, instead. They know teeth and they know what can be used on a cat

NO TYLENOL FOR CATS. Period.

You need to take your cat to the vet. Your cat may have sustained a fracture and/or may be set up for a serious infection. In fact, if the tooth comes out easily, there may already be infection in the root and it could have the potential to turn into a fatal (or at least very expensive) abscess.

Foregoing dental care is expensive in the long run, whether you're talking about people or cats or gerbils.








By way of explanation...

Tylenol -- acetominophen or paracetamol, depending on which side of the Atlantic you live on -- is toxic to liver cells. This isn't a big deal to a healthy human liver facing therapeutic doses of acetaminophen because we have an enzyme that rapidly turns the drug into a less toxic chemical that can be easily disposed of. In people with poor liver function or in people that take an overdose of acetaminophen, the enzyme can't detoxify the drug fast enough and liver cells start to die. If the difference between the drug and the enzyme is big enough, the liver -- and the person -- can die.

Cats, through some accident of evolution, do not have the enzyme that detoxifies acetaminophen. So normal, healthy cat liver cells can be killed by what we would consider a normal dosage of the drug. So -- no acetaminophen in cats.

In general, you should always check with a vet before you even consider giving a human drug to a pet. Stuff that works for us may not work for them, and may make them very sick or kill them.
