A warning about Metacam for cats

[Medusa]

If all you are worried about is pain perhaps you can ask your vet to prescribe you some liquid ketoprofen?

Thanx for this. I will definitely talk to my vet about it.

Or perhaps ask if you can start cosequin while he is still on the meds and you are waiting for the cosequin to kick in, or you can try a combo or cosequin and keto? Then once the pills start working you can wean him off the metacam.

This is what I thought, too. Boo has been on Metacam for about a year now and I've not seen any bad side effects in him. He's hyperthyroid but that started before Metacam, not after. Thank you again.
