My spayed cat got Metacam early post-surgery. Is it an emergency?

Question

My cat was neutered last week and I was told to give her Metacam everyday, the vet said it must be 24 hours so anytime after two o’clock today somehow very stupid of me maybe I was half awake, I accidentally Read the time wrong and gave her her medicine 2 hours early, will she die ? Should I call emergency ? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 months and 21 days old | 5.7 lbs

It is OK that you gave it 2 hours early but I personally don't recommend multiple days of Metacam administration in cats. I suggest you stop giving it at this point unless she seems painful. After a week she should not be.
