Answer:

The correct answer is buprenorphine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The efficiency of the pain medication and that for how long the pain will be monitored generally relies upon on how closely the drug will associate with a receptor. The drug buprenorphine exhibits both high avidity and high affinity for the opioid receptors, thus, making it a highly efficient medicine for pain for feline pain relief. The majority of the formulations of the drug only offers six to eight hours of analgesia.
