Always consult your veterinarian before administering medication.
Formula:
The Metacam (Meloxicam) dosage for cats is typically calculated based on the cat's weight and the recommended dose, which for cats is often 0.05 mg/kg once daily for both initial and maintenance treatment, using the 0.5 mg/mL oral suspension.
- Dose (mg) = Cat's Weight (kg) × Recommended Dose (mg/kg)
- Volume (mL) = Total Dose (mg) / Metacam Concentration (0.5 mg/mL)
Where:
- Cat's Weight (kg): The weight of your cat in kilograms.
- Recommended Dose (mg/kg): The veterinarian-prescribed dosage (e.g., 0.05 mg/kg).
- Metacam Concentration (0.5 mg/mL): Standard concentration for feline oral suspension.
