Just thought I'd mention that C went to a lecture given by Richard Saunders recently. When covering the subject of analgesia he said that he now prescribes Metacam at doses as high as 0.6mg/kg every TWELVE HOURS in cases involving severe pain. C asked Richard how long he would feel comfortable giving this dose and he said 'for as long as it is needed'.
So Vets who are still giving the old maximum dose of 0.3mg/kg/24hrs might as well be prescribing water really.
