If her tum has been empty for some time she might benefit from adding Ranitidine (Zantac) to her drug regime. It is an anti-GI ulcer med. A Buns stomach is normally very acidic and if it has been empty, even for a relatively short time, there is a risk of GI ulceration. This risk is exacerbated with the use of Metacam. Also, a beneficial side-effect of Ranitidine is that it has been found to increase the rate of gastric emptying. Ranitidine may not help, but I dont think it'd do any harm to try. Maybe you could give the Vet a call and ask ?
