Hi I know that dosages have been discussed, but I just wanted some advice really. My 2 year old boy Graham is on Metcam or Meloxidyl (it varies depending on what the vet has). He weighs 1.24kg and at first was only prescribed 0.2ml of the 0.5mg cat Meloxidyl. It had no effect on his pain (he is in pain when going to poo and has ulcers sometimes on his willy which no vet seems to have ever seen before). I then requested a stronger dose so it went up to 0.4ml which still has no effect but the vets say this is the highest he can go on.
I am confused as another vet I have emailed on facebook said he can have 1ml.
After reading comments on this forum it seems he can have more too. I hate seeing him in so much pain. I know he cannot be on Metacam for years but being on & off of it since May 2020 at such a low dose has not helped at all.
Any advice gratefully received. He has just had his urine tested for crystals but waiting to hear back. The exotic vets have no idea either what is wrong with him (after my vets have contacted them for help).
Thank you
