Oh. She is so sweet!

She is just precious! I almost cried reading this thread. It warms my heart that you have taken her in and given her a loving home. She looks so happy and is having such a wonderful life now. Thank you for giving it to her.

to a previous question, she is on a VERY low dose of Metacam daily.

Also, video below is of her playing with a new playmate, Keller. 4 month old blind kitten foster... obviously Keller enjoyed the romp more than Myrtle.. lol

Could you post the strength of the drug, i.e. # mg/ml - that should be found either/both on the Rx label/container.

Could you also post the dosage - how much - of the drug she received daily?

And - what do you use to administer it...dropper or graduated syringe?

Styker, I am rather uncomfortable posting that info as the dosage depends on the animal, and this was prescribed for her... I dont want someone to read about what dosage I give my cat, and give it to their own.. Metacam can cause issues if taken long term without further diagnostics such as bloodwork, etc.

Are you thinking of giving this to your furry friend?

I'm guessing Stryker is asking because Metacam is possibly one of the worst things to give to a cat, except in very miniscule doses. Do a search for Metacam, and you'll see what I mean. My cats would have to be in excruciating pain for me to even consider giving them Metacam, and then, it would be as an ABSOLUTE last resort.

Keller is my kitten's twin. Check it out:

Bad pic, but I think the resemblance is uncanny.

You are a horrible, horrible person for doing this. You can't just go around helping kittens and special needs cats without....well, never mind. Carry on.

Oh I have those same baby gates. I got two of them and stacked them to seperate a new adoptee. He laughed before he flew over them.

unfortunately, Metacam was the last resort for Myrtle.. I am well aware of the effects of it.. but being that she is so small and needs a more long term medication. It was decided that Metacam was the way to go..

Her dose hardly registers on the syringe, lets put it that way..
