My cat Ebony hurt herself when outside on saturday and
wouldn't put any wieght on her foot at all....... So I
waited it out a couple days through the weekend and then
on Monday called and spoke to my vet. Took her
into see him Tuesday because it wasn't any better.......
He did xrays and examined her and kept her over night
for observation. All I was told over the phone is
that he wanted to keep her over night becasue he gave
her some meds and wanted to watch her through the night
but we can get her Wednesday after 10 am. So we
did. My husband brought her home with the med that
he gave to her. The does at the vets was the
injection but he sent home orally Metacam for her... I
was told to give it to her everyother day for a week.
However I wanted to see what it is b4 I gave her any of
it and ran into your site. As of now she has had
what the vet gave to her and seems to be doing great.
Walking on her leg now. Not prefectly yet but LOTS
better. However I will not give her any more of
this med after reading what I have read! Not worth
it..... She will heal without it and it isn't worth it
to give her more. But I just now pray that the
amount he gave to her is ok and she will do ok with it.
Over 24 hours since the injection of it was givin to
her..... I think she was only givin one!!! I
pray!!! That is all I was told about.......
But what was brought home I will not use!
All of the stories I have read have said that they
continued to give it to their cat or they had more then
one dose of it one way or the other and most were a few
or more doses. So I guess ONE injection dose could
be a good thing ONLY ONE if you trust your vet but DO
NOT GIVE it orally at home to your cat. Sounds
like MORE then ONE dose is when everyone is seeing
problems starting.
I will not allow this to be givin to my cat again but I
just doing want anyone whos cat had ONE dose to freak
out~ Just watch them closly and DO NOT give more
then that to your cat!!!!!!! I wish he wouldn't
have givin it to her now but it is over with! So
now I am hopeing that she will be ok! So far looks
great and seemed to help! But like I said b4~
I WILL NOT give the orally med of Metacam he sent her
home with to her~ NOT WORTH IT to me~ So
please pray that the one dose she had is ok and she will
be ok from it and I am so sorry to everyone that has
lost a pet to this drug and I would not give it to your
cat if you see this in time like I hope I did b4
anything happens~
Thank you for making everyone aware~
Jamie
( I sure hope I seen this in time! I will update
you if anything changes for the worse with Ebony from
the one dose she had.)
THANK YOU~
