Metacam Oral Suspension for Horses is a prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that may be recommended by your veterinarian if your horse is diagnosed with a musculoskeletal condition. Your horses ability to breathe, breed, urinate, chew, and swallow can be influenced by a muscular condition. Meloxicam can relieve pain and inflammation indicated in acute and chronic musculoskeletal diseases and conditions. A veterinarian may also prescribe Metacam Oral Suspension for Horses (Meloxicam) if your horse is experiencing the pain associated with colic.

Metacam Oral Suspension for Horses works by blocking the action of an enzyme that is responsible for producing certain chemicals in the body that respond to injury. This response causes swelling, pain, and inflammation at the affected site to fend off the intruder that caused the injury and begin the healing process. However, with inflammation there is pain, and with pain there is inflammation. So by turning off these immune response actions, your horse will begin to experience relief. Your horse should have a thorough examination by a licensed professional before administering Meloxicam, and it’s important to follow the vet’s directions carefully when giving any NSAID for whatever reason.
