Hi Dave ,
 
My cat recently had surgery on her teeth she has two cavities that had to be removed.. After her surgery I was given metacam to give to my cat as after care. Not even two weeks later i noticed she wasnt eating so I took her into my vet.. She was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Failure.. And is now at the vets recieving fluid therapy. I had no idea this medication would cause such damage to my 5 year old cat otherwise i would have never given it to her.. IT only took two days worth of administering the drug before it came into affect on her health.. We put so much trust into our vets that we trust whatever they give us will help our family members.. I am hopefull that my cat will get through this ordeal and i will not hesitate to contact the manufatuer and the fda to report my story.
 
thank you for you site It has helped point me in the right direction
