I've requested Metacam from my vet and just got a call that they have "something similar" that he would prefer to use instead of metacam:
Carprofen
Which google shows is the same as Rimadyl.
This would be for pain meds after a spay. Ratguide says its in the class of advil and aspirin... Is this going to be strong enough?
I've never heard of this pain med either, not used for rats at least, so I'd love input from those with some expertise. Is this a suitable replacement for metacam or should I continue to push for the script for metacam?
