If Matt weighs about 2kg 0.8mls of DOG METACAM is perfectly safe
The maximum dose my Vet prescribes is 0.6mg/kg/24 hours (0.4ml/kg) Some Vets are prescribing even higher.
This works out at 0.4ml/kg hence a 2kg Rabbit could have 0.8ml (1.2mg) every 24 hours. Or it can be given in two divided doses of 0.4ml every 12 hours.
ETA- here is a post from rodneyvet on another thread. RV is an Exotics Specilaist...........
The dose for metacam I give to rabbits is 0.3-0.5mg/kg twice daily. I would consider gastric protectants also (anti ulcer drugs).
