Hi just noticed this site...
I am the creator of www.metacamkills.com and glad to see it's getting some press..

FYI ..the picture of PB with the Sub-Q fluids (brown & white cat) is staged for the camera..

He got plenty of SUBQs but would'nt just sit there with a needle in him..
His ARF has completely resolved with aggressive treatment.
He continues to enjoy life..

The website will be his legacy.. Spread the word...

Thank you, Dave. I chose to no longer allow the use of this medication for my cats after researching and reading the package insert information on the internet. The possible adverse effects had not been explained to me beforehand by our vets nor was the limited FDA approval explained to me beforehand. I'm uncomfortable with off-label use of veterinary products.

I'm glad to hear that PB is doing well.

Thank you Dave for your site which educates pet parents about the dangers of metacam. I do hope that PB will continue in health and happiness.

Thank you for the information. Lobo had been on it for a few months but we have him off his meds for about a month now. I will not put him back on it. Something about him didn't seem right - he was throwing up and not wanting to eat....I got him off all meds at the time....he hasn't been on it since and he still gets up and down fine and walks and his happy. I agree with the other posts -get the right nutrition and you should not need these things forever. I plan to get his blood work done again next month - I'm sure now that he has been off of the meds for awhile any high levels in his blood she be back to normal now - I'm glad this information was provided. Thank you.
Robert
