I am giving my 18 month lab Metacam for her OCD.  However, I have reduced the rate from 30 units down to 2 - 5 drops.  I ve tried her without any but shes not as comfortable as the 2 drops make her.  I expect the side effects are less too with only a small amount. I also give glucosomine chrondrotin, green lipped mussel extract, a herbal supplement and a bioflow collar.  She swims twice a week and daily walks of an hour or more (off lead) its hard to believe that 2 drops could make a difference but has anyone else experienced this?

My old dog was put on Metacam for arthritis and I managed to taper the dose down to once a week. He was also on green lipped mussell supplements and Vitapet R & A oil. This combination worked very well for him
