One of my newly acquired rescue cats has a benin tumour on his nose/face which makes him snuffly and uncomoftable.
He has been on medication for the last four months which was hoped to shrink the tumour and it hasn't. Now I have taken them to register with my vet (they have been with me just over a week) and he explained the stuff they were on he doesn't really rate and that is really just a contraceptive drug used to stop queens going into heat but often used as a steroid. Now this was before I pointed it hadn't worked so i was hopeful at this point he might have a better idea

Anyway he has given me a drug called Metacam to put in Edgar's food and I was all set to go but I have did a google search and whilst there are some vet comments raving about it - there are a couple of sites that seem to be dedicated to saying it is dangerous and kills cats or at very least gives them Kidney failure!

So here in is the danger of the internet I suppose!!! I haven't ever really had to use medication with a cat so not sure if the horror sites exist for all drugs. I think this is quite a new drug and hmmm I am now in a bit of a tizzy!!
Anyone ever used or came accross conflicting info like this?
