Pet Prescriptions

I recently had to start my dog on the hormonal treatment that will last for the rest of his life. This will be very expensive, but someone told me recently that you can ask your vet to write a prescription for drugs and collect from a chemist and veterinary drugs, of which there are many apparently. Veterinarians are not happy to do for obvious reasons, but I do not know if legally they can refuse to do so, does anyone out there know?

You can get some drugs from a pharmacy, you can also purchase veterinary medicines in line with a written example rescription www.vetmeds.co.uk. Your veterinarian may not refuse to write you a written prescription and they should not charge you to write the prescription. The vet can write you a prescription after a physical examination of the animal and the animal must be re-seen by the veterinarian evey three months for a Medi-checking to ensure there are no adverse changes in his condition.
Try to contact the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons www.rcvs.org.uk for more information, they can not be content with losing money, but they can not refuse this service to you.

you have a legal right to ask your vet for prescription drugs and get to go somewhere else where if you feel that their prices are too.
However, most veterinarians do not want a problem recurring or ongoing treatment, as if the drug is different in any way it will change the treatment of dogs and could cause more harm than good (at least if it is the vet you can garuntee is the stuff)
Do you have insurance for pets or HVE have you thought about alternative therapies for your dog?

Most drug stores carry the products because they are the same. Tramadol is an analgesic great for dogs and people.

We have a kitten with ringworm and have the medications we have to jointly address community cat take oral medications that are used for the same children.
