Hey! Has anyone given metacam to their chickens? One of ours seems to have egg yolk peritonitis, and the vet prescribed metacam oral susp 1.5mg and and antibiotics. She instructed I give 2 ml of the metacam once daily. Does that seem high? The chicken weighed 5lb at the appointment and is probably up because of the extra fluid in her abdomen. I was feeling nervous after reading another forum about metacam and seeing significantly smaller dosage recommendations. Does anyone else have experience with this drug and their chickens?
