💊 What meloxicam is

Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in veterinary medicine for pain, inflammation, and fever.
It works by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are involved in inflammation and pain pathways.

It’s not a steroid.

🚨 High-risk situations

Meloxicam should be used very cautiously or avoided in pets with:

• Kidney disease

• Liver disease

• History of stomach/intestinal ulcers

• Bleeding disorders

• Dehydration

• Shock or low blood pressure

It must never be combined with:

• Other NSAIDs (carprofen, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc.)

• Steroids (prednisone, dexamethasone)

There should be a washout period (usually several days) when switching between NSAIDs or between an NSAID and a steroid.

Cats vs dogs (very important difference)

🟢 Dogs → meloxicam is widely used and generally safe when prescribed correctly.
🔴 Cats → much higher risk for kidney injury and GI bleeding; long-term oral use is controversial and tightly controlled.

Bottom line

Meloxicam is a very effective veterinary NSAID for pain and inflammation, especially in dogs. When used correctly, it can significantly improve comfort and mobility — but it requires careful dosing and monitoring to avoid serious side effects.
