I was just prescribed Metacam for my kitty that is going for a dental next week. She is FIV positive so she does has some pretty bad teeth in there. Metacam is not approved to be used with cats in the US. So, I naturally came home and checked the internet about it. I have read lots and lots of horror stories. Mostly about cats dying from it. Liver disease, renal failure, seizures, among other problems.
Since this is a DOG board I was hoping some of you would have experiences with it in dogs. Did you have any side effects? Cats and dogs are built differently, I know, so there must be a reason why it has been used for years in the US for dogs and not for cats. My Pickery already has enough against her I dont want to add more.
