So, I came across several articles and threads that warn against Metacam but our vets prescribe only this medication for post surgery. Our senior cat just had 5 teeth pulled out and the vet at the hospital said that this was the only pain medication she prescribed for cats. So now, I don't know what to do. He has been prescribed 0.25 ml once per 24 hours. The box we have does say for cats and guinea pigs.
Obviously, the anesthesia will wear out soon as he came back about 4 hours ago. I will have to give him the metacam for his first dose but don't see how to avoid it for the next few days. I am ssuming he is going to need pain management for 3-4 days.
