Hello - I'm afraid that we do not prescribe on this site - that js between you and your vet.  For a start, Meloxicam can be given in tablet form (mgs) or liquid, where the a certain number of mgs come in one ml of liquid.  Mistakes about this  can prove fatal to your cat.  If the medicine has been properly prescribed, there should be a label with the correct dosage clearly stated upon it.  If this is not the case, then you need to call your vet - or their emergency covering team - directly.

To my understanding, it would be illegal for either you or myself to work out or guess a dose for your cat.

However, if you are not convinced, it is always best to check it.
