Important Safety Information for Cats: As with all drugs, side effects may occur. Do not use meloxicam in cats with pre-existing renal dysfunction. Do not follow the single, one-time dose of meloxicam with any other NSAID. Do not use IV in cats. When administering any NSAID, appropriate laboratory testing to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data is recommended prior to use in dogs and cats. All cats should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before administering meloxicam. Pet owners should be advised to observe their cats for signs of potential drug toxicity.

All dogs should undergo a thorough history and physical examination before administering any NSAID. Appropriate laboratory testing to establish hematological and serum biochemical baseline data is recommended prior to, and periodically during use of any NSAID in dogs. A field study involving 224 dogs was conducted. Based on the results of this study, GI abnormalities (vomiting, soft stools, diarrhea, and inappetence) were the most common adverse reactions associated with the administration of meloxicam. Pet owners should be advised to observe their dogs for signs of potential drug toxicity. Refer to prescribing information for complete details.
