Product Information

Full details

Metacam Oral Suspension is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) specifically formulated for pet owners looking to manage chronic or acute pain and inflammation in their animals. The medication excels at improving joint mobility and reducing discomfort, making it an essential tool for pets dealing with musculoskeletal conditions. While it is highly effective, it must be administered precisely according to a veterinarian's dosage instructions to avoid potential adverse side effects common with NSAID use.

FAQs

Can I give Metacam to my pet without a prescription?

No, Metacam is a prescription-only medication that must be dispensed and dosed by a licensed veterinarian.

How long does a bottle last?

The duration depends on your pet's weight and the prescribed dosage; refer to the bottle volume and your vet's instructions.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

Give the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time for the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose.

Can this be used for other animals?

Metacam formulations are often species-specific. Never give a medication intended for another species to your pet.

Is it safe for long-term use?

It can be used long-term under strict veterinary supervision, which usually includes regular blood work to monitor organ function.

Troubleshooting

Pet refuses to take the medication

Mix the measured dose into a small amount of wet food or a high-value treat to mask the flavor.

Pet experiences digestive upset

Ensure the medication is given with food; if symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian immediately.

Difficulty measuring the correct dose

Verify you are using the specific syringe included in the packaging and hold the syringe vertically when drawing the liquid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for treatment, ensure you are using the exact syringe provided with your specific bottle size. Do not substitute the syringe with other measuring devices, as dosing accuracy is critical for NSAIDs. Store the medication at room temperature in a secure place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of pets or children. Always clean the syringe after each use by rinsing it with water and allowing it to air dry. Check the expiration date regularly, and do not use the product if it has expired or shows signs of separation that do not resolve with gentle agitation.
