also you do not need to give the metacam in the middle of his feeding. just make sure you give it with some food because it can upset the stomach in some patients. either give it after a meal or give it with a snack, just not on an empty stomach. |
the reason mid meal is because it can cause ulcers in the lining of stomach. It is a strong med and i prefer to surround it with food - NEVER on empty stomach it can perforate a human bowel so it can do the same in dogs as well. Read those links from the FDA i posted. I personally do not think a snack is enough food
but that is just my opinion from what happened to my dog as vet gave it on empty stomach and it was a NIGHTMARE but my dog is mvd and is on temarilp which was another NO NO but vet felt it was safe - NOT
