  Hi there!
  
  I was hoping someone had experience with cartrophen injections for arthritic rabbits?
  
  There is not much info out there and read one page it shouldn’t be used with metacam. He is on metacam and buprenorphine. Don’t want to do something wrong. Also read other people using it while rabbit is on metacam. So I am very confused and lost,
  
  thank you

  I have no personal experience with cartrophen, but I know of one bun who’s getting it and it seems to work very well. He’s a French lop, so a big bun. I don’t know if he’s on meloxicam too. What does your vet say about cartrophen and meloxicam?

  There is concern with using the two together since they both slow blood clotting and can (in theory) cause bleeding problems. I would ask your vet if it’s something that would be OK short term and what the risks are.
