meloxicam dosage for birds

Since lupus can affect the internal organs, I would take her to see another rheumie until you find one that will try something other than or in addition to an NSAID like meloxicam. (I also take meloxicam, but in conjunction with three other meds for RA that go after the disease process itself, not just treating the symptoms like meloxicam alone). Blood work is only one of many diagnostic tools, not the yes-or-no definitive answer.

I imagine they're trained to know which medications work best for which heart problems. As for dosage, I'm not sure. If you look at a PDR the book mentions standard dosages for children, adults and geriatric folks. I know with the antibiotics I use at work we choose which antibiotic works best for which type of injury or specific bacteria. I always calculate dosage according to species (mammals have a different calculation compared to birds or reptiles) and weight.

ve been taking Meloxicam for my costochondritis for about a month and felt much better. I quit taking it and had a flare up and am now back on it. I hope it works. I just don't want to be on it too long term.

Can you take meloxicam and later a couple of Advil? I was prescribed meloxicam for my arthritis and it does not always help me..

sorry to hear of your daily pain ordeal, I can relate. I have found (for me) that Meloxicam (as needed) is effective for taking the biting edge off of the pain. I have it in two strengths, 7.5 and 15 mg. It does not erase the pain, but it does take enough of the edge off for me to get through. Make sure to take this on a full tummy...it can upset the stomach. I hope this info helps....I tried a litany of meds (topomax included) and this one seems to help me right now.

Meloxicam is considered a strong Motrin, but this meloxicam knocked me out for 24 hours. My husband was soon prescribed it and he also hated it. You cannot drive or read, just sleep. Meloxicam is a pain killer, very strong, and doctors are acting like it is just motrin. It is not. It puts you in a coma.

I have been on Meloxicam for about 4 months and have gained 20 pounds and i feel swollen. I am also on highblood pressure meds. I just quit taking the Meloxicam. Does anyone know if the weight goes away? How long does it take for bloated feeling to go away?

Hi there! I was just prescribed meloxicam 15mg for arthritis along with prilosec for acid reflux. I was wondering if you could tell me if meloxicam would be better for pain relief compared to 800mg ibuprofen. Also does it take time for meloxicam to build up in my body for maximum benefit? If so, how long does it take? Thanks very much!

I went to the doctor for some issues that I had been having and decided to reach out to my doctor for help getting off these bad boys. He perscribed Meloxicam to help with some the withdrawal symptons. I have to say this stuff, which is just an anit inflammatory will helps with the symptons. It eleminates the hot, flush feeling which is most annoying. It really does help. Just wondering if it's all in my head or has anyone actually heard of this? Thanks.

I've been on that medication for many years and have had no side effects. It's been very helpful for my condition (severe tibial tendonitis).

Thanks for sharing what works for you. You were wise to "play" with the dosage till you found a solution. I'm sorry to hear about your condition and pain. Sadly this is a very old thread - and your information will not be viewed by many. I encourage you to begin a new thread. Just click on the box at the top, right hand side of this thread where it says, "Post a Question" and it'll walk you through. I hope you'll be active in MedHelp.

Maybe he wants to see how you go on Cytomel. And yes it is correct that T3 supplements can cause hyper and arrythmias. It all depends on the dosage and the person in particular. Some do great on Cytomel..some dont. Take the T4 med for 4-6 weeks...check to see if the T4 is converting to T3 and if not, then ask for Cytomel too. Maybe your labs showed your T3 too high and your T4 a fraction low??? What was your last labs?

I have gained a considerable amount of weight will taking Meloxicam. Once I stop taking will the weight come off??

However, veterinarians are allowed to use medications in an “extra label” or “off label” manner, meaning they can legally prescribe oral meloxicam for cats." Please keep us updated, I hope all is well. Certainly better safe than sorry right?

I was prescribe Meloxicam and tynolol with codiene,is this a good combination for severe arthritis?

Thanks for the suggestion, and we will certainly look into adding that.

I've been on Celexa, Neurontin, and Meloxicam for some time due to chronic pain, depression arthritis, and neuropathy. I've been reading a lot about DLPA and it says NOT to take it with SSRI's. Does anyone know whether I should stop taking the Celexa before I ever start taking Ithis supplement? I'm very anxious to give this supplement a try! My depression has gotten severe...to the point that NOTHING works anymore, I have no sex drive, feel hopeless, I have no motivation, etc...

At the daytime she is a very social bird, very active, always plays with her toys. Actually she is more active than other birds. The other birds live with her for months do not show any signs at all. Is my budgie sick or is it normal?? What can I do at home to help her? I already de worm them and treat for the mites using Ivermactine( just incase if they got any from the wild pigeons hanging around in the garden). I would really appreciate your help.

Is it possible that Meloxicam could have eased my depression? I was on Meloxicam for a couple of weeks (for back pain) and noticed a huge improvement in my mood. Was this just a coincidence?

He also started sleeping the whole day, his eyes are droopy but when I hold him, he looks normal and whistles normal, he is just a bit weaker on his grip and when he tries to fly, he is ok for a bit then loses his strength and dives, luckily we have carpet. I tried to force him to eat, he won't. I was able to put drops of water on his beak. Also, is this a health concern for my toddlers?

I decided to try eccentric strength trainiing as it worked for my hamstring tendon. and its known for achiles tendon. Its been about 3-4 days and i already feel much much better. anyone else had similar issues/advice on this topic?

Is it safe to take ibuprofen in the same day as Meloxicam? I take 15 mg of the Meloxicam in the morning for pain but need additional pain relief later in the day and I know that both drugs are NSAID so I don't want to accidentally overdose.
