Meloxicam is a prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to control pain and inflammation (soreness) due to osteoarthritis in dogs. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful condition caused by wear and tear of cartilage and other parts of the joints that may result in the following changes or signs in your dog: Limping or lameness, decreased activity or exercise (reluctance to stand, climb stairs, jump or run, or difficulty in performing these activities) stiffness or decreased movement of joints.
A licensed veterinarian must prescribe meloxicam for your dog. As with all prescribed medicines, meloxicam should only be given to the dog for which it was prescribed. Meloxicam is for use in dogs only. Do not give meloxicam to cats. It should be given to your dog only for the condition for which it was prescribed. It is important to periodically discuss your dog's response to meloxicam at regular checkups. Your veterinarian will best determine if your dog is responding as expected and if your dog should continue receiving meloxicam.
