Okay, so I’ve been dealing with this thing with my cat, Mittens. She’s getting up there in years, you know, and she’s been limping a bit. It’s tough to watch. I took her to the vet, and they said it’s probably arthritis. The vet recommended this medication called Meloxicam. They said it’s an anti-inflammatory thing, kinda like ibuprofen for cats, but you know, made specifically for them. They call it “Metacam” sometimes.
First, I had to get her examined by the doctor. They gave her a one-time injection at the vet’s office, she didn’t seem to like it very much. Then, the vet showed me how to give her the oral suspension at home.
The vet told me the usual dosage is around 7.5mg a day, at first. They also mentioned that the dosage can be adjusted later, depending on how she is doing.
So, I went online to check the prices of Meloxicam for cats. Man, it can vary! I looked at a few different places.
I finally found a decent deal and ordered it online. It arrived a couple of days later, and I started giving it to Mittens with her food. It’s a liquid, so it’s pretty easy to mix in. It was on November 1st, 2024 when I placed the order.
Here’s what I did:
- Vet Visit: Got the diagnosis and the initial injection.
- Researched: Looked up what Meloxicam is all about.
- Price Comparison: Shopped around online for the best price.
- Ordered: Got it delivered to my doorstep.
- Administering: Started giving it to Mittens daily with her food.
It’s been a little while now, and I think I’m starting to see a difference. She seems a bit more comfortable and is moving around a little better. Still keeping an eye on her, of course. It’s a journey, that’s for sure. But I’m hoping this Meloxicam helps her feel better in her old age. It’s all about making her comfortable, right?
Anyway, that’s my story about getting Meloxicam for my cat, Mittens. It was a bit of a process, but I think it’s worth it to see her feeling a little better.
