How long can rabbits be treated with Metacam?

Rabbits tolerate Metacam a lot better than for example dogs and cats. There is always a small risk for stomach problems to develop when on Metacam. This risk is however a lot smaller in rabbits than in for example dogs. Most rabbits do not develop any side effects from Metacam and some can be kept on a lifelong treatment to prevent chronic pain without any problems. However, if there is any kidney disease present it is not recommended to use Metacam in your pet.
