Hello, Can I give Meloxicam to my senior dog on a long term basis? He has osteoarthritis. I used to give the tablet to him whenever he seemed in pain (limping, loss of appetite).of late, it's happening more frequently. When I stop giving the tablet, he again starts showing all these issues within 2-3 days. He takes Meloxicam easily and also responds well. If I can give it to him long term let me know for how long.

Hi Sarita. No. It shouldn’t be given for long term as it might lead to toxicity.

I would suggest you to speak to any vet online or by booking a home consultation on kuddle for the better treatment and outcome.

If I book and appointment for vaccination and deworming, does the doctor get the medicine handy or should I get it?
