We have several rescue dogs and donate to shelters. One had a sore on an upper lip that got infected from the dog scratching. Took to vet and paid a big bill for exam and 7 antibiotic pills. There is something in that area that makes the dog want to scratch. So we've been numbing it with local anesthetic and using a cone for short periods when that wasn't enough. But a year later we didn't use the cone quick enough and it may be infected. The vet wants another big fee to examine and issue another prescription. I see on-line stores that sell the meds cheap but still need a prescription to "ensure the right drug is used". Anyone know of sources that don't need a prescription or a cheap on-line "quack" who will issue prescriptions? Every hundred we waste is a hundred less the shelters get.
Pets are property. I know this med won't harm her from research and the fact she took it before. I'll take my chances that it won't help but give 99 to 1 odds it will work like the last time.
I guess I should consider myself lucky I don't need a prescription for the car wax I use to "ensure its the best one for the job".
