Fed my cat too much Meloxicam

Hello! It’s completely understandable to be worried when you think your cat might have had too much medication. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) often used for pain relief in pets. However, too much can potentially cause problems, particularly for our feline friends.

Cats can be quite sensitive to NSAIDs, and an overdose could lead to tummy troubles like vomiting, diarrhea, and even more serious issues like ulcers or kidney problems. It’s important to monitor your cat closely for any signs of distress, such as lethargy, lack of appetite, or changes in drinking or urination habits.

For now, make sure your cat has access to fresh water and a comfortable resting spot. Try to keep a calm environment to help reduce any stress they might be feeling.

If your cat shows signs of serious discomfort, like vomiting, diarrhea, or seems unusually lethargic, I would recommend seeking veterinary attention as soon as possible.

To put your mind at ease and get tailored advice, consider scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. We can discuss your cat's symptoms in detail and guide you through the next steps.
