Attention dogs with injuries, Arthritis or Chronic Pain
•Dogs and cats experience pain the same way humans do. That's
why veterinarians try to identify and minimize pain, and increase patient comfort by
offering pain medication.
•If you have a dog suffering from osteoarthritis or a cat
about to undergo certain surgical procedures, then you should know about
METACAM.
•METACAM
offers an easy, effective way to relieve pain
in both of these situations.
METACAM is a NSAID - (A Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug) It is the only NSAID available as an oral suspension. This liquid form allows easy, convenient, and precise dosing for dogs of all sizes, and it is given only once a day. We have been using NSAIDs for many years at KAH. Now we recommend Metacam! Metacam's Benefits For most dogs Metacam is:
•Safer
•Better
•
Less expensive
•Metacam
is a honey flavored liquid
•As
a liquid the dose of Metacam is easily and accurately adjusted.
•With
tablets, you are either under or overdosing your dog.
•Metacam is excreted by
the kidney and should not be given to dogs with impaired kidney function.
Rimadyl & Deramaxx
