Metacam is not dangerous for cats, but your cat would need a much lower dosage than you give a dog. With any type of medication, you should always check with a vet first.

My 10 year old Chihuahua's front leg is bothering him he is not crying and sometimes he walks just fine Could it be arthritis?
Most likely it is arthritus, if you go to the vet ask for a pain med you can use that humans use so it does not cost so much, such as meloxicam tablets cut in quarters or 8ths the 7.5 mg tablet, your dog is very small, check with vet. This is same product as Metacam Liquid sold at vets for $90.00, tablets are $4.00 at walmart

Fish oil can be good for dogs, I poke the capsule with a pin and give 1/2 of the dose, for arthritis you can get some meloxicam from the vet, the vets sell Metacam liquid but this cost $90.00 a bottle, meloxicam you can get at walmart for 4.00 but you need an rx for itAnswerFish oil is an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids that contains all the natural ingredients for joint pain relief. If it is also high in Omega-3, it can also help to support healthy joints and bone health.

Bleeding in the stomach or intestinal tract, if you are using this make sure you use buffered aspirin or enteric coated. If you need help with arthritus A better drug is Meloxicam cost is $ 4.00 at walmart this is the generic version of Metacam Liquid which the vet sells for $ 90.00, Meloxicam is a human drug, when prescribed by the vet (and you have to ask, as they like their $ 90.00 from the one they sell) these tablets come in 7.5 mg and by the weight of the dog for a 90 lb dog you would use 1/2 tablet for arthritus, and less for a smaller dog, your vet can advise you on how much to give. There is also a product called DOG GONE PAIN, I have never tried this.
What painkillers can you give to your dog?
You can buy over-the-counter painkillers for dogs, especially made for dogs. Search internet sites specifically offering dog supplies. If you don't know what's wrong with your pet, you shouldn't be medicating indiscriminately. Example...a one pound pigeon can be put to sleep permanently (and very painfully) if given a Bayer aspirin.Do not self medicate your pets! You wouldn't hopefully do that to a child! Veterinarians are there for a purpose and they will have to examine your dog to make a diagnosis and they will tell you what medications you should give them. If you find the medications from the vets too expensive (and often they are) and you really can't afford it, get the prescription and have it filled at your local pharmacy (often less expensive). Be sure to tell the pharmacist that it is for your dog and also the weight of the dog and they'll do the rest and give you instructions with the medications. If you can't afford a vet find one and offer to work off your bill. They often need someone to clean out the cages or take the dogs "in hospital" for short outings of fresh air. See your vet as soon as possible! If your dog is old or has a very painful disease it's time to discuss with the vet what quality of life your dog is going to have and then it's a decision you will have to make from there. Don't let your "friend" suffer needlessly.At the vet I have been given Metacam its a liquid, and have used Rimadyl, I prefer the Metacam as it does not damage the stomach as much, Rimady and a drug called Baytril (which I think is for an infection) usually upsets stomach and the vet may tell you to give a little Tagemet, but only under vet's care and advise. I got this from a vet website: http://www.vetinfo.com/daspirin.htmlAspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.
