What are Clopidogrel Tablets for Cats and Dogs?
- Clopidogrel is a medication given to inhibit platelets from aggregating in the blood.
- Platelets in the blood respond to injury by clotting, but they may clot more in some pets than others.
- Clotting in the blood may lead to blockage of blood flow and cause cell death due to the lack of oxygen reaching a certain area.
- Clopidogrel helps to inhibit the clotting of platelets.
Why do cats and dogs use Clopidogrel?
- Clopidogrel is prescribed to prevent the formation of blood clots.
What else should I know about Clopidogrel?
- Clopidogrel is the generic alternative to Plavix.
- Because of the lack of clotting in the blood, clopidogrel increases the risk of bleeding in your pet due to your pet’s lack of being able to clot efficiently.
What problems could my dog or cat have with Clopidogrel?
- The most common side effects are an increased risk of bleeding, vomiting, and anorexia.
- Bleeding is not likely to occur, but monitor your cat or dog for bleeding and bruising.
- Because of the increased risk of bleeding, it is important to monitor your pet for any bleeding or black, tarry stools, and report any signs to your pet's veterinarian. Black stool can indicate a bleed in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
How do you use Clopidogrel?
- Clopidogrel can be given with or without food. Follow your veterinarian's directions.
What is in Clopidogrel?

I gave my cat another dose by mistake this evening, she already had her dose this morning, what should I watch for??
-
The adverse events of clopidogrel include vomiting, diarrhea and bleeding. Clopidogrel can be given with or without food, however, administering the dose with food may help alleviate the gastrointestinal adverse events. Bleeding from clopidogrel is not likely in cats, but if your cats were to show signs of bleeding such as black tarry stools, contact your veterinarian immediately. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My cat wont swallow the tablet, can I crush it to mix with food??
-
Yes, clopidogrel tablets are okay to crush and mix with your cat’s food. Also, it is important to try to incorporate the crushed tablets into a small amount of food so your cat can ingest the full dose of the medication. If incorporated into a full bowl of food, your pet may not finish all of it and therefore not obtain the proper dose of his or her medication.
