Any one had any problems with Metacam?
Its a painkiller, wich IS licensed in this country for cats; in US (I've been told) apparently it used only for dogs.....
It seems simetimes to cause renal failure or incontinence in cats?
I've got a cat - which needs a painkiller at the moment and been prescribed Metacam.
I asked a Vet to change it to any other painkiller.
The answer was:
1 - " cats have sencitive kidneys anyway....." (!?!?!?love that one)
2 - "this painkiller licensed in this Country"
3 - "the only other one we have - needs to be injected therefore cat have to be hospitalised"....

Any thought? ideas? advise?

Thank you.
