Metacam/Loxicom

I know they are both the same drug but are there any differences at all in them?

I ask because Cleo has been on loxicom until Wednesday but when I got a new bottle it was a metacam bottle. I've noticed she's been a bit more rolly these past 2 days. She might just be having an off day or two, or it could be the heat tiring her out. I just wanted to check, as this has been the only change in her medication.
 
Is it the same strength compared to the loxicom? Both the oral version?

Metacam comes in 2 different strengths, a dog one at 1.5mg/ml and a cat one at 0.5mg/ml. Which have you been given?
