Pain Relief for My Dog
This product was recommended by my vet, and the generic equivalent provided by VetRxDirect has provided a big boost to my 14 1/2-year-old lab/mutt. She's able to get around easier, limps less, and the customer service in locating the generic equivalent has been great.
Most Liked Negative Review
I will not buy Meloxidyl again.
Meloxidyl is generic form of Medacam for joint pain. I tried for my Yorkie because it was much cheaper than Medacam. My Yorkie couldn't take the Meloxidyl. It gave her diarrhea.

Meloxidyl is giving Skyler relief from her athritis pain.
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 200mL BottleSkyler gets 70 pounds worth of Meloxidyl for her arthritis pain every morning in her breakfast. She gets relief for the entire day with this dosage. She also receives a monthly injection of Librela from her vet. The attached photo is from Skyler's earlier days (she's 10 1/2 now). -

A must-have in your medicine cabinet if you have rabbits
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 100mL BottleI have a bun who's been on metacam (meloxicam) for at least 6 months now. As most of you may know, metacam is kind of like the "tylenol" of pain meds - quite innocuous in some ways. My bun does very well on this extended oral administration and I foresee the need to always have a bottle of this on hand for various issues that may arise. -
This medication helps my babi girl
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 200mL BottleI chose to purchase the 200ml oral suspension meloxidyl from VetRx because of their competitive prices, several choices of sizes along with their quick delivery & well packaging. My 12 &1/2 yr old rattie has been on meloxicam for well over a yr, ( prescribed by her vet) due to a suspicious growth in her bladder ( which is ck every 6 mths) to help with inflammation & possibly increase in growth ( which I believe meloxidyl has most likely help with all those concerns.She takes her this med w/o any problems, I just syringe the liquid onto her boil shredded chicken breast once a day as prescribed @ or near the same time every day.-

A Pharmacy you can trust.
From UndisclosedComments about Meloxidyl (meloxicam) 1.5mg/mL Oral Suspension 100mL BottleI was getting this medicine from my vet. Unfortunately, the vet started stocking only Loxicom, which made my pet sick. I ordered what I thought was Meloxidyl from Chewy, judging from the landing page photo and description, but they sent Loxicom. It was great to finally get the name-brand medicine that works well for my pet's pain and does not have adverse effects. I will trust Vet Direct for my pet's needs in the future.-

Can I use Benazepril with Meloxicam? Are there any drug interactions? Or is there a website that I can do a drug interaction for dog medicine??
-
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of pain, inflammation, and osteoarthritis in dogs. Benazepril is an ACE Inhibitor used to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, and some forms of kidney disease in dogs and cats. According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, the use of NSAIDs and ACE Inhibitors could potentially increase the risk for kidney toxicity and/or reduce efficacy of the ACE inhibitor (benazepril) in animals with heart or kidney disease. Close veterinary monitoring is advised with the use of these medications together. Please consult your veterinarian with any further questions or concerns regarding the use of these medications for your dog.

Our dog is a 14 yr old 7 lb Pappilon with spine and hip arthritis. Out vet gave us Metacam 0.5 mg/ml. While on vacation we ran out and a vet in Texas gave us Meloxidyl 1.5 mg/ml. My question is, are these two comparable dosage wise ?? Thank you !!?
-
Meloxicam suspensions are most commonly sold in two strengths. One contains 0.5 milligrams of meloxicam in each milliliter (0.5mg/mL), such as your bottle of Metacam. The second contains 1.5 milligrams of the active ingredient of meloxicam in each milliliter (1.5mg/mL), such as your bottle of Meloxidyl. One milliliter of the 1.5mg/mL meloxicam suspension would have the same amount of meloxicam as three milliliters of the 0.5mg/mL meloxicam suspension. Please contact your veterinarian to discuss exactly how much of your current bottle your pet should receive and how often.

My german shepherd was given the pill meloxicam 7.5 for pain which he has hip dysplasia. He now weighs 110lbs and had to stop the pill cause it was too strong of a dose. The vet said about putting my shep on an oral form but it costs over 100.00. I don't know how big the bottle or dosage was. Can I use this product if I talk to my Vet??
-
Meloxidyl comes in 10, 32, 100, and 200 ml bottles. The concentration of each is 1.5 mg/ml. Meloxicam is usually dosed at 0.1 mg/kg once daily. For your dog the dose would be approximately 5 mg which would be about 3.3 ml once daily. A dose of 3.3ml once daily a 100ml bottle would last 30 days. A 200ml bottle would last 60 days. Thank you, VetRxDirect
