... ibuprofen or diclofenac) which is given in oral form. It comes in a small glass bottle and is sold inside a box which contains a full product information leaflet, which includes details on dosages, contraindications, side-effects and warnings - and all of this is easy to follow. I got it on prescription from my vet and it cost me £7.00 for a 32ml bottle. There is a syringe that comes with the bottle and so you measure the amount of Metcam to be given by looking at the number of kilograms along the syringe - and so i...morePrice Comparison for Metacam

My old lab suffered arthritus and the vet suggested she be put down but we tried her on Metacam and it gave her a new lease of life. In combination with Hiprite she lived an extra 2 years and ran round like a young dog again. My current dog, a 9 stone Anatolian shepherd is now in the same state, limping heavily with stiff joints and he started on it last month with great ... Read the complete review

My westie, who is now nearly ten years old, does suffer with a little bit of arthritis. Because of the fact that westies tend to be quite stocky with short little legs, they are prone to arthritis in their later years - and the key is to obviously treat the inflammation and the pain associated with arthritis so that she can be pain-free and also remain happy and active. Our vet recommended Metcam which contains meloxicam and sodium benzoate, and together it forms an anti-inflammatory and analgesic which is particularly suited to osteoarthritis.

Unfortunately I have poor things to comment on when it comes to Metecam. One day my German Shepherd Charlie stared limping in this front poor. As a result he started a three week course of antibotics and Metecam. The Metecam was meant to act as an anti-inflamatory, while helping to reduce the pain. After a week Cahrlie limping seemed to be improving. However, with the knowledge that the Metecam was helping to reduce the pain, I felt that his syptoms may merely be masked. The vet confirmed this was the case. Worse still we noticed that Charlie had developed a rash on the end of his nose. The rash spread on to his face and around his mouth. Though ...

My seven year old Golden mix tore something yet to be diagnosed in her knee and was prescribed Metacam by the emergency vet yesterday a Saturday. I want her off of it ASAP. It has changed her behavior and personality in a frightening way. She is very lethargic, confused and has no appetite. There must be some other pain medication that doesn't cause these side effects. She is so not herself. I haven't seen any advantages except that she is so doped that she isn't feeling ... Read the complete review
