it is very hard on the kindeys and liver. for this reason its a good idea to get regular health checks and blood tests, perhaps 6 monthly.
Luna is only three but will likely be on metacam for the rest of her life. she has arthritis and a shallow hip socket. without her medication she's grumpy and barely moves. it was actually the cause of sore hocks all these years. her good leg just ends up completely pink and cracked and swollen. she thinks the metacam is great and goes insane when she knows its time [emoji38]
its not the best drug, and long term it can cause issues. but at the end of the day, if it gives quality of life for the long term I'm willing to take that risk.
