Ack! Why did Jackie lose weight?

Jackie's poopies are almost normal. Last night I didn't take him out for separate (smaller portion) veggies, just threw two portions in the cage, and put some pellets in the dish. Today his poops are good!
After a week of this, I'm going to look into adding Metacam for his achy back.
I have taken to calling his mom "Suzi Loaf" because she's so fat and round. She does not appreciate this. She also enjoys peeing on all the hay in the haybox and then taking a snooze and winding up with a yellow belly. Eeew.

Okay, I've been working like a maniac, trying to, you know, have money, and I forgot to call the vet today or yesterday.
How likely is it that 0.1ml of metacam a day would upset Jackie's stomach severely? I just feel so bad for how achy he seems to be. I think if he felt a little better, he could put weight back on and be a happy litte scaredypig.

Ditto. Mum, do you not regularly use 0.15 mL for your arthritis pigs daily?
Unless Jackie has some particular sensitivity to it, 0.1 mL daily should be no problem at all. You can probably go up a little if you need to.
This is the "standard" 1.5 mg/mL suspension (purple box), right?

Jackie has a URI (probably got it from me). I know he has a URI, I know that Bactrim works well for him, and I don't have any Bactrim and don't really want to shell out almost $40 to take a taxi to the vet.
Anyone have any ideas on getting the vet over the phone to call in a prescription to a human pharmacy?
