Well I started my dog on Metacam from Allivet not realizing it was a product of Mexico. My dog has used Metacam from my Vet for 2 years for leg pain with great results. After about a little over a week my dog has developed excruciating pain. I don't know why as the only thing different I changed was adding the new bottle of metacam. I found out from a Vet that Mexican products are NOT REGULATED! And I read too that some of their employees are not credited to work in pharmaceutical. So currently since last night I have purchased a new bottle from my vet. Had to give him a double dose last night because of his pain. This morning gave him the new dose again along with his other meds, he has not cried out.
Had I known Medacam came from a unregulated location, I would have never purchased it. I had called them 2 times on the rediculious smell that's unusual. The last call was to corporate and they claimed normal. I'm taking this bottle to a compounding pharm to see if they can identify what's in it.
It's just strange this happened after Allivets usage of metacam.
I've been through too much for the past 5 days! Don't know what to do. Going back to the Vet in the morning..

Hi Kate. Allivet gets their Metacam directly from Boehringer Ingelheim, the manufacturer of Metacam. I apologize that your dog seemed to have a reaction, however I promise you that the product is sourced directly from the manufacturer and not Mexico. We at a. Pharmacy certified pharmacy and are therefore prohibited from selling non-regulated product.
