Metacam comes in a few different mg/ml bottles. It is given ONCE a day. A syringe should come with the bottle and the syringe is dosed in lbs, not mls. the weight of your dog, rounded down is how much you give them. My dog is 4.5lbs so i would dose for a 4lb dog. HOWEVER, you should speak with your vet about what to give and if its needed for whatever problem your dog is having.

| Maggie is 8.5lbs she had some teeth removed today along with her cleaning & they sent 7 syringes for her that they had pre-filled with the Metacam. They are filled to 0.25 ml. I don't know if this helps or not.

| i only gave once a day for first 2 days when i had my girls spayed. they were okay and i didn't see the need to give them if they were fine. i gave them the amount that is according to their weight. I think 3 times a day would be toooo much.
