Meloxicam is the human equivalent, same stuff different trade name.

Just be aware that Metacam and similar products are linked to tumours and problems with the liver. If you can get by with the herbal or fish oil alternatives then they are safer. If your dog is in its last couple of years then Metacam can be the best solution, but not for younger dogs.

If it’s for arthritic pain and that’s what it’s intended for, then you can give paracetamol @ 10mg per 1kg. As per my vet, a very good vet that you can bring your dogs to get treated no matter what has happened to them. 

will paracetamol take swelling down work as anti inflammatory 

never heard of giving a dog paracetamol but never been to an irish vet  

if it’s just for pain give it something will work like tramadol easy to find

She’s a German. No it’s purely analgesic, not for inflammation. So you’re saying tramadol is easier to find? 

she’s german most likely know the score then 

i’ve been to vets plenty over the years the meta an is for the swelling anti inflammatory and they normally give carpreve with it for pain 

no you can find paracetamol easier then tramadol but tramadol is still easy to find if you ring about a few family and friends mate

Metacam is good to take down swelling or ibuprofin gel on a joint.
