Buprenorphine is a drug manufactured for use both by humans and for domesticated pets as a painkiller. Buprenorphine is used for animals of all types, due to the safety of the chemical formula and the extended trials it has undergone during its development. It may be prescribed by a veterinarian when a dog or cat is suffering from a particularly painful disease or injury, such as genetic conditions, tissue necrosis, and serious wounds or fractures.
