youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Aye it's for the hawk lads so camt give aspirin. Been told the stuff they use for dogs is the only stuff they prescribe for hawks too. Can get the drops but need the tablets ideally Quote Link to post

MIK 4,756 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Loxicom is what you need Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Cant you buy it over counter at vets ? My vets sell me metacam over the counter without seeing the dog but a lot won't. 1 Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Metacam and Loxicom are the same stuff so either will do, vets will treat a hawk with it but I've always had to sign a disclaimer form first. Birds need a much higher dose than a dog per kilo body weight. It's thick enough stuff so I find its easier to squirt liquid into a day old chick than give it in tablet form.

paulus 26 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Metacalm' Loxicom ' or meloxicam " the human equivalent" all none steroidal anti inflammatory, prescribed to a lot of people who suffer from arthritis. Hint,Hint. Quote Link to post

Been giving it into the chick but not seen much improvement and trying to get her into the vets is becoming a joke Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 What's happened mate? I'm lucky here we've got a few good vets that are on call 24/7. Quote Link to post
MIK 4,756 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Metacalm' Loxicom ' one of the same really Mik.lLoxicom cheaper Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Think she's just pulled it baiting from the perch all the time but all her foots swollen up. Been given some metacam but doesn't seem to have done anything. Nearest avian vets is 2 hours away and I think she's out he office because I haven't been able to get through on the two numbers I've been given. At a loss Quote Link to post
pointer 543 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 It might just take a while to kick in. I give the dose for a 10kg dog to mine when she needs it. Hope you get it sorted mate. Quote Link to post
