Oh I'm absolutely not encouraging anyone to go against a vets advice haha. My understanding of the situation is that the vet who saw him prescribed 0.03ml of metacam, and when the OP sought a second-opinion from a different vet (who didn't prescribe the medicine) they offered contradicting advice.

I was just attempting to offer clarity and peace of mind that although the vet made a mistake with indicating the wrong number on the syringe, the 0.03ml dosage she prescribed for the metacam is indeed correct - as the OP was (understandably) having doubts that it was too much.
