I had Herbie at the vet's yesterday as he has been very grumpy (chasing with intent/fur pulling) and not as enthusiastic over his food over the last couple of days. I appreciate the change in behaviour may be psychological rather than physiological tho.
The vet has said there is a pronounced step on his molars, with an excess of saliva. Herbie did have his teeth burred in October last year. As we are away for a couple of days and then on holiday it is going to be a week before he has a dental so we have got some Metacam in the meantime. It is the dog strength 1.5mg/ml and the suggested doseage is 2 drops every 24 hrs.
So getting to the point
can I split the dose every 12 hrs, is this likely to be more effective or better for Herb? He had two drops last night - and thankfully will take loaded on a raisin.
Thank you,
