It could be pain. It may take a day or two for the Metacam to make him more comfortable. If he is still doing this odd behavior in a few days, it is a good idea to have him re-evaluated by the vet. X-rays of the hips and spine may be indicated, as well as blood work for any signs of anemia, blood glucose changes, kidney disease, etc.
