Meloxicam is primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat dogs and cattle. A study suggests that using NSAIDs like Meloxicam in cats can lead to gastrointestinal upset and seizures at higher doses. Cats have a low tolerance for NSAIDs in general. However, in 2020, Meloxicam injection was approved for use in cats only before an operation and as a single injection with explicit instructions to not administer a second dose.
