As I am probably going to need metacam long term my vet gave me a prescription for it. Vet UK appears to be the cheapest. Are they ok ?, Anyone used them ??
Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Thanks Max . Who would u recommend?
I got some from animed on Jack's Jane's recommendation. Very pleased with them.
Animed are OK, but when I needed something *urgent* and they were out of stock, they never told me. They just let me wait and wait until I finally rang and asked where my priority order was :lol:
Ah. I still had several weeks worth left in the old bottle and I guess metacam is probably something they keep plenty of stock of. One would hope so anyway!!
A couple of months ago VETUK's Facebook was inundated with irate customers who hadn't received urgent medication, food, or even an apology!
Perhaps they are back on track, but certainly a couple of other companies I have contacted believe they have been bought out.
Sorry Max ! I know I am very needy lol I r ember now that I ordered food from vet uk a few months ago and had to cancel due to the delay also. Will maybe go with Amimed instead then. Thanks guys
I experienced the recent delays. It was unacceptable - in fact my rabbit sadly died (not due to lack of medication), whilst waiting for my order to arrive. I also think they company could have posted 1st class rather than 2nd class mail in view of the delay, so not impressed.
Cara I'm sorry to hear about your rabbit
I never got an apology from them, and although they had my prescription on file, they said they hadn't. They never fulfilled my order and I claimed a refund in the end. Lots of others were doing the same, and their requests went unanswered.
Thank you MightyMax. You may recall Rosie was my senior bunny ~ she was 14 when we lost her over Easter.
Regarding VetUk, I have always said it is not always what went wrong, but how it is dealt with that counts and in that respect I was unimpressed. Previously I have not had a problem with this company.
