PRESCRIPTION VETERINARY NSAID — dosed only by a licensed veterinarian. No dose is published here on purpose. Meloxicam has a narrow safety margin, the correct amount depends on species, body weight, and the individual animal, and your veterinarian will give you a figure in millilitres for your pet. Cats are not small dogs. The safe feline dose is a small fraction of the canine dose, and repeated dosing at canine levels is a recognised cause of acute kidney failure and death in cats. Measure every dose with the syringe supplied, never a kitchen spoon, and shake the bottle before use so the suspension is evenly mixed. Double-check the number of millilitres before each dose, especially with a small cat, where a decimal place is the difference between a treatment and an overdose. Never give human painkillers to pets. Paracetamol is fatal to cats, and ibuprofen and aspirin cause ulcers and kidney damage in both species. Do not give alongside any other NSAID or any corticosteroid, as the combination sharply raises the risk of stomach ulceration and perforation, and a washout period is needed when switching. Do not use in animals that are dehydrated, in shock, or have low blood pressure, nor in those with kidney or liver disease, stomach ulcers, or bleeding disorders. Consult your veterinarian before use in pregnant, lactating, or very young animals. Always give with or straight after food. Stop and contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet vomits, has diarrhoea or black tarry stools, goes off its food, becomes dull or weak, drinks or urinates noticeably more, or develops yellowing of the eyes or gums. Long-term use requires periodic kidney and liver blood tests. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store as directed on the pack, away from direct sunlight.
Melopet oral suspension is a prescription veterinary NSAID containing meloxicam, used to control pain, inflammation, and fever in dogs and cats. A liquid is the right format for this drug in small patients: a tablet can only be split so far, while a suspension drawn up in a graduated syringe lets a veterinarian prescribe an exact dose for a 3kg cat as easily as a 30kg dog, and that precision is the whole safety story with NSAIDs. The flavoured suspension is also easier to give to a sore animal than a tablet, and it can be dosed straight onto food. Supplied in a 15ml bottle.
