Since the Metacam is only labelled for dogs, the
dosing syringe that comes with it doesn't show small enough amounts for cats.
What you have to do, is get your vet to give you a 1 cc syringe that the end
will fit INTO the end of the syringe the Metacam comes with. Pull up 10 lbs
worth in the big syringe, then stick the 1 cc syringe INTO the end of that one,
and push/pull it from the big one, into the small one, until you get .20 CC in
the small syringe. That was for Bones, when she only weighed 5 pounds, you might
want to do more, according to weight, but the cat dosage is .20 CC per 5LBS body
weight. You only give it once every 3 days, it has a controlled
release.

Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up until she earns a free can of formula! PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil! If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing address
you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
