Meloxicam dose

[TheBlessedCoop]

Hi! I have Metacam oral suspension for dogs 1.5mg/ml. My duck is 4lbs. She has injured her leg and I’m curious on what the proper dose would be to give her for pain relief. Thanks for all feedback! Picture of her when she’s feeling good.

I think that @casportpony uses 0.25 mg per kg of weight twice a day of the 1.5 mg per ml meloxicam. Here are some threads with dosages:

Prescribed by my vet for my 4 lb hen. You will need a 3 ml syringe and draw it up to 2 ticks marks past the 1 for 1.2.
