This week I tell the story of the awful experience that I have been going through for the last couple of weeks with my Labrador Pippa after she was neutered and had a severe reaction to Metacam.
I was unaware of the potential dangers of using the drug having not had any issues with it when giving it to other pets and her brother just a couple of weeks earlier.
This podcast contains information on Pippa's symptoms and what medicines I had to syringe into her orally to get her to improve. It also contains information on what to look out for if your pet has had an overdose of Metacam.
