• Cats: In cats, veterinary meloxicam injection is administered subcutaneously only. It is approved for a single, one-time dose in this species. Repeated use in cats is strongly cautioned against due to the risk of serious adverse effects, including acute renal failure and death.
• Cattle: The injection is administered as a single dose either subcutaneously or intravenously.
• Swine: In swine, the injection is administered as a single intramuscular dose.
• Sheep: Veterinary meloxicam injection is administered as a single subcutaneous injection, commonly in the neck area behind the ear. 

• Dosing Accuracy: Using a graduated syringe is important for accurate administration, especially in smaller animals.
• Timing: For surgical procedures, administration may occur around the time of anesthesia induction.
• Hydration: Ensuring the animal is well-hydrated before administration can help mitigate the risk of renal complications.
• Safety: Should not be given at the same time as other NSAIDs or corticosteroids.
