My chin just had some dental work done. He had a broken bottom incisor removed and also some cheek teeth that were overgrown and reshaped. There are several cheek teeth with erosion on them - they are either resorption or cavities as per the vet. These teeth can be painful, especially when the lesions are inflamed by oral bacteria. The specialist recommended pain medication while these teeth grown out and are worn down.
My chin was prescribed metacam oral suspension 0.3 ml by mouth ever 24 hours longterm on a 1.5 mg/ml bottle.
I just wanted to know if this dose seems unusually high for such a small chin who is only 480 grams.
1. Would he overdose on such a recommended dose of 0.3 ml every 24 hours?
2. Will there be long term side effects with this use?
3. Should I only use the recommended dose as written on the instructions of the bottle instead of using the vet's recommendation?
Would like to get everyone's thoughts and advice.
