You are right...still suggest something else?
I was wondering about the every 12 hours....seems like a long time for another dose.
Oh NO, don't give Metacam more often than prescribed!! It should be given with food. It is an anti inflammatory and can cause GI bleeding. Usually it is given once/day. I am assuming he cut the dose in half to make it twice/day

She probably won't need any pain meds after 3 - 4 days. Usually the Metacam will hold them. BUT, if you want to give her meds for a longer period, I suggest asking for Tramadol instead of the Torb. I find it does not make them as drugged up.
