Hello everyone. Hope we are all well.
Is anyone available at the moment to help me get the correct dosage of dog Metacam to give to a young boar with dental issues?
The reason I'm asking is I have dyscalculia. I have older pigs which i can dose correctly but unfortunately my brain cannot wrap my head around a dosage for a small pig.
I'm currently at work (WFH). If anyone is available I can go on a comfort break code & get the weight for you. Naughty boy below.
Thank you.

Hi

What weight is your boy roughly and have you got dog or cat metacam?

I wouldn't give her more than 0.1 ml dog metacam max. That is one tenth of a small syringe.

Please contact your vets first thing tomorrow morning to sort out the correct dosage. I assume Lumie is already under treatment or booked in?

I thought he was to begin wilth but honestly I don't think he is. I wasn't able to get much info about his origin, but he was mis sexed from the SPCA who thought he was a she 🤭 He was dropped when he was very very young which has caused being almost blind & deaf. He does have dental issues but the vet who surrendered him to me is pretty sure it was caused by the drop. Still a mystery though! 😆
