My Guinea pig got spayed today and she has only been given 0.6mg cat metacam once daily. I’ve read most people do this twice daily . I don’t know what to do is this too low of a dose ?Advise please

Hi

Please go with the prescription but contact your vets if she is not doing well and keeps losing weight/no appetite.

Tomorrow will be the day when she is at her most sore; if you wish to, you can give her the one dosage in the morning and another in the evening. The healing process should kick in fully by days 2-3.

Tips For Post-operative Care

All the best.
