I agree
As a side note, not all meds affect furbabies the same. Two of mine had no problems with Metacam, but one did, and it was scary. Please always be aware of the possible side effects to
any pain/meds you give your furbabies no matter how safe you think they are, so if they do react, you will know the signs right away and be able to help them.
Any owner being prescribed one of the NSAID's for their dog should always ask for a client information sheet explaining the possible side effects of the drug and what to look out for. These are not automatically handed out by vets who buy shipments of the drugs from pharmaceutical companies then repackage them in smaller quantities for the client. In the process, the information sheets may be lost and the vet often does not clearly communicate the importance of monitoring the dog for adverse effects.
