I was also worried about the side effects of metacam but the alternative is a bunny with no hind leg control, it seemed like the right thing to do...if it works. We are now up to 0.6ml of dog metacam twice a day - the 0.4ml twice a day didn't seem to make much difference to his problem but...

Further update: he's been on 0.4ml metacam once a day for 2 weeks but in the last few days he has become a bit worse, with lack of control of one of his hind legs. After a vet visit today he's now on 0.4ml metacam twice a day. According to the vet, this is still a relatively low dose for his...

It was the same when I had mine done - no pain medication. He was pretty poorly for a day and then started to perk up. Although afterwards I felt very angry they hadn't sent him home with any pain meds and wished I had asked for some. I don't know what pain meds would be suitable, perhaps...

It's the one for dogs. The vet said to use 0.4ml each day (it's 40 on the plastic syringe she gave us). I think she said it's on the low side dosage-wise but I'm not completely sure of that. It's the first time I have used metacam so I'm not very knowledgeable about it.

He does seem to be happier on the metacam. He's on 0.4ml per day at the moment (he's 6kg in weight). We're back at the vets in 10 days time so we'll review the metacam treatment then. I'll let you know what the vet says.

The X-rays show that he does have spondylosis in the spine and a bit of arthritis in his back legs. The vet put him on metacam and we're continuing the course of Panacur to the end. The metacam seems to have provided some improvement already (unless that's just my wishful thinking) so we're...

Glad to hear Barney is a bit better - really hope he continues to improve. My chap is currently in the vets having an x-ray, the vet says she thinks it's something to do with the spine, as he doesn't have much reflex in his back legs (although he can generally move around ok, just quite...

Hi. How is Barney doing? Really hope the Panacur worked for him. Got a similar problem with my 6yo (hind leg weakness) who is on day 16 of Panacur treatment. However he is still having the same type of episodes he had before we started Panacur and I'm wondering how long it takes for the...
