Metacam. Daily?
« on: September 10, 2014, 12:09:12 pm »
Hi

Had metacam prescribed for one of my ewes.

Just can't remember if your meant to give it daily or not. 

Anyone have any ideas before I pester the vet again. She has 2ml subcutaneous yesterday.

Thanks

I was told 3 days daily for the last one I treated.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

If you bought it from the vet, they should've stuck a label on it, telling you how much and how often.  Otherwise it's the humble-pie sorry-I-forgot phone call...

Yup, it should deff say on the label, iirc 3 days seems about right but always better to ring. And phoning the vets is free :-)
