Hi All!
I wrote awhile ago about my 3 year old Ginger's limp. It got really bad Wednesday again (after she hadn't been limping for a few weeks), so we took her to the vet. He decided to put her on an anti-inflammatory, Metacam, and rest (leashed potty breaks, no playing, running, etc.) We were going to try it for two weeks and then take x-rays if it was still flaring up. We were suppose to my parent's cabin for the holiday weekend, but decided to stay home to avoid the risk of her tearing it and needing surgery.
We started the meds with her Thursday morning. We didn't notice any reaction to the meds on Thursday (come to find out on Friday I found several poopy piles in the basement...possibly from Thursday. She doesn't usually have accidents)...but early afternoon Friday, she started going crazy licking the carpet and then eating grass like it was going out of style but didn't throw up. I called the vet and he said to give it to her one more day and if the same thing happens again to stop the meds and call him Monday. Later in the day, while we were out, she ended up throwing up. Today (Saturday).. we gave her the meds again in the morning and then we were out of the house early afternoon. We came home to diarrhea all over the house. She seemed better, so i fed her her early evening meal as normal. She threw all of it up about 2 1/2 hours later undigested (she didn't gag or anything like normal...she was laying right next to me and I didn't know anything was wrong until I heard it hit the floor...it happened again about 10 minutes later). We are gonna stop the meds and call him Monday..
My question is... has anyone ever had their beagle on Metacam? Did they have any similar reaction? Any suggestions of what I should do?
Thanks!
