meloxicam/metacam doses

what is the dosage for metacam per kilo per day? I know the dosage for buns has changed, just can't remember what it is!

Is it max of 0.6mls per kilo?
 
My bunny is on metacam and she is just under 2 kilos and her dosage is 2kg, they seem to have changed from ml for some reason.
 
My vet prescribes, 0.2ml per kg 2 x daily.

As it is a prescription med I would always check the dose with a vet first
 
Depends on what strength Metacam you are using

My Vet prescribes a maximum dose of 0.6mg/kg/24hrs

If it were to be the dog Metacam I was using this would equate to a dose of 0.4ml/kg/24hrs as each 0.1ml = 0.15mg

ETA it can also be given in divided doses of 0.3mg/kg/12hrs (0.2ml/kg/12hrs)

thank you guys!
Sorry, I am being a little bit of a hypocondriac and worrying too much. Don't think I will administrate it anyway, seems like she is back to her normal self. :wave:
