Wagg & Purr Meloxicam Dog Oral Suspension should be administered mixed with food. On the first day of treatment a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight should be given. Treatment is to be continued once daily by oral administration (at 24-hour intervals) at a maintenance dose of 0.1 mg/kg bodyweight.

Particular care should be given with regard to the accuracy of dosing.

Wagg & Purr Meloxicam Dog Oral Suspension is administered by use of a graduated measuring syringe (0.5 mL increments) which is provided in the package. The syringe fits onto the bottle and has a kg-bodyweight scale designed for the maintenance dose (i.e. 0.1 mg/kg bodyweight). Thus, twice the volume should be administered on the first day as the initial dose. The following dosing table indicates what volume to administer depending on the weight of the dog:

Initial Dose:
0.2 mg/kg bodyweight
2 maintenance dosage volumes

Maintenance Dose:
0.1 mg/kg bodyweight
1 maintenance dosage volume

For longer term treatment, once clinical response has been observed (after ≥ 4 days), the dose of AVET Meloxicam Dog Oral Suspension can be adjusted to the lowest effective individual dose reflecting that the degree of pain and inflammation associated with chronic musculoskeletal disorders may vary over time. Should longer term treatment be contemplated, the prescribing veterinarian should observe current best practice including, but not limited to, regular monitoring of relevant clinical and biochemical parameters. If no improvement is noticeable after 10 days of treatment, please consult a veterinary surgeon.
Shake well before use.
