How is your baby doing?  Did you get some x-rays or another opinion?
I can help with some supplements :
Also, ask your vet about the baby aspirin per day ????

Hi Kim - Call the vet and tell them the metacam is not working for your boy.  Ask them if you can give 1 ( 81 mg ) of Baby aspirin every 12 hrs? or just 1 x per day.

Also, you can get another opinion on this with some x-rays?

Best of luck
