Aspirin is actually LESS toxic than Tylenol and ibuprofen. My vet actually prescribed it yrs ago, but in tiny doses.

Don't give a cat aspirin, it is toxic to cats.

NO, you can't give your cat tramadol.  

If you truly care about your cat, PLEASE take her to the humane society or SPCA.  They will help her and will probably do the dental work to relieve your poor cat from the misery that she is obviously in.

Do the right thing.  Have you ever had a bad tooth?  Do you know what it feels like?????  Your poor cat is in too much pain to eat.

Well she is 15yrs old and lost all teeth except the bottom fang on right side it is black at bottom of tooth. I can't afford $300+ for extraction. I called a vet today and asked it we could just wrap her up numb it and pull it w/out cost of anesthesia I was told no. I mixed tuna juice w/ amoxicillin cap(500mg)  and gave her 32mg hoping to help her infection and pain. Have you ever known any vets to use local to pull a tooth? She is a little back of bones prob less than 4lbs she can eat canned food but I can't get any weight on her.

RUBBISH !!! Amoxicillin is the safest antibiotic for cats who do not have an allergy to penicillin - and very few have. Where are you getting your information???
PGH, the above response was reacting to the person asking about giving a cat Tylenol or aspirin, not amoxicillin.
