Metacam Dosing

[CWRC]

I just received a fox squirrel today with a broken leg. He weighs 332g. I have meloxicam 7.5mg tablets

Keep checking back. Someone will dose it for you!

Have any pics?

Poor little guy 🙁

Can you splint his leg?

Give me a minute on the dosing...

Yes, I am going to splint it. He screams in pain when I touch his leg, I was thinking giving metacam first and letting that kick in before ? I was trained in avian rehab, this is my first year with mammals, so it’s a whole new world. Any advice is greatly appreciated ��

Dosing sent in a PM.

Do you have a vet that will see this little one?

I assume it is that rear leg that is fractured... can you get a picture of that?

Thank you for loving this baby!

Is he black or is it the lighting?

He’s black The only one I saw out there, the others were all grey. He was found on a golf course by a lady that saw him dragging himself with his front legs. The back left leg doesn’t seem to be injured, moves and uses it normally.

Were you able to get this beautiful baby to a vet?
