Is my rabbit's Meloxicam dosage safe for their stomach/hip pain?

Question

My bunny was given therapy 0,7ml of (Meloxoral) Meloxicam 0,5mg/ml oral suspension for his stomach/hip issues. Vet (I coudn't reach the one that prescribed him) and my mother caused me to believe that I overdosed him and that I shoud've go with 0,07ml. We fought back with inj. Ranitidine, Vitamin K and tried to cause him to vomit as well. Did they deceive me? On Medirabbit, they are allowed to have 0,3-0,6mg per kg. He's 1,90kg. What do we do next? Please help as I don't trust my vet! Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 4.2 lbs

The dosage of 0.7 ml is absolutely fine, it's even slightly low for rabbits, there is no need for all the treatments he was given, vitamin K has nothing to do with it and you never try to make a rabbit vomit, no matter what.
