We have a young possum in Eugene, Oregon that was found with its dead mom and still nursing. There is no obvious sign of trauma, except that the possum is acting odd... going around in circles a lot and tipping to the side when it walks. After talking to the vet we are thinking this is a head trauma case and Metacam is badly needed, but the lady that has the possum does not have any Metacam on hand nor does she know any vets or people in the area as she just recently moved.
IS there any one near around where she lives that could offer her some Metacam for the week?

Carolyn, all domestic vets carry metacam... that is the brand name...
the actual name is meloxicam...her vet should be able to dispense it...or Rx her a script, at walmart 7.5 mg tablets are $4 for 30 count.
hope she can find some...poor little baby p[ossie...
