That's really something that you should talk to your vet about. It all depends on how many mg/mL etc.. Especially since if you dose something out wrong and send your pet into kidney failure I bet you won't feel too good about that

WARNING
Repeated use of meloxicam in cats has been associated with acute renal failure and death. Do not administer additional injectable or oral meloxicam to cats. See Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions for detailed information.

I saw a 4 month old puppy die after being otherwise TOTALLY healthy after being on metacam a few days after being spayed. So, it's up to you, if you want to go ahead and try to convert it be my guest, but I'd be very careful if I were you.
