Something to do with renal failure, IIRC.
There's been talk about it on TFF in the past.
The injectable we use is far stronger than the proper stuff made just for dogs, I think.
If you've not had any problems, maybe it's just vet propaganda so they can sell us the expensive dog version
Similiar here....
As for swede !! I usually describe such roots as sheep or cattle fodder only!
I get doggy metacam ordered hrough my farm vet, as when we have it off the small animal vets for the pack, our Accountant whinges!!Something to do with renal failure, IIRC.

It also keeps, unlike the injectable variety...
I used a 250ml bottle in April, keeping isn’t a problem here.
Bloody annoying when you start checking at the wrong end of the farm and find a dead one cast where you should have begun, just just alive when I found here, 10 minutes and she would have lived.

Sod's law! It's the same as lambing a ewe and the lamb seems alive but just doesn't quite get going - always wish I'd gone round the field a different route. Can't be two places at once though.

Under the 20 mark to go ~ still hogg triplets pending 
Joy and happiness coming to a field near you soon....Under the 20 mark to go ~ still hogg triplets pending
Our (potential) problems were all brought inside for closer supervision! Paid dividends in only one loss at lambing, and that was our incompetence really...

Same here less than 20, and seem to be having more problems. Two more in the pet pen, no milk. Probably actually not any worse, and just the weariness of 4:30 starts starting to drain my brain. On the positive side we seem to have cured a very sick lamb, you never really expect that. I feel the transition coming - from getting them born, to trying to keep them alive in the coming weeks.
@Wood field baked tattie, 10 minutes in the microwave, dump stuff on top
for Fat Dave's foot, ours occasionally land wrong, catch it on something???

Today’s knitting of fog was interesting, gathered ewes and lambs to a small field then off up the track to the house, I wanted to rest fat Dave so used the two younger girls , eventually got them somewhere near but posh dog bottled and went to her kennel, whilst youngest dog looked overwhelmed!
Fatty was brought out and bossed the situation.
Seemed to take an age so we let them out after marking and ear notching , I’ll have to get them trailered away at the weekend

We've had the calmag more often in the last 5 days then in the entire first cycle. Plus TLD. Just shooting in the dark really, mainly little to no milk, then down. Or kicked out and another on the bottle. Once again I'm probably over exaggerating due to sleep deprivation .
