Not quite correct... I believe there are some older people who haven't been vaccinated, and you also have to consider that while a vaccine can give immunity to normal exposure, it does NOT always

I don't know Kay, its a good question. My suspicion, honestly, is that it probably hasn't actually increased and isn't unusual, we just really ARE blessed in that our animals are able, with good

Hi Katy and thanks so much for your reply. You may very well be in an area with a problem, I've no way to know for sure. I'm surprised to hear that the nitrate etc testing is expensive, I'd

Chromium can make great differences apparently in insuline use for diabetics. Be careful with blood builders, they can be overused and create problems themselves, this has been found in

Unfortunately these two are distinctly Apples vs. Oranges and cannot be compared. Human do NOT have a vaccine that can be taken normally as in dogs and horses, we have to take a series and it is

I agree with Kay. We do what we have too. I made my horse a promise long ago that I will get him the best as long as I can afford it. Boy did I stretch that promise when I had to put him in the

I am in Big Bear- east of Victorville and north of San Bernardino. I used to spend a lot of time in Bakersfield- years and years ago! <g> Call around to the WalMarts in your area. I found the price

Your vet sounds great Janice! Where in CA are you? I am also in CA. My vet is coming today to check estrogen levels. I am not happy with the progress Star is making and now its time to delve even

I'm new to this group, I've been searching thru the archives but I'm a bit frustrated with sifting thru the snippits here and there so I decided to just send a postwith my questions and hope some

Prices not only vary wildly from store to store, they vary wildly on specific drugs. For instance, drug A might be far cheaper at ShopKo, but drug B might be cheaper at

Janice, will your vet write or call in a script for you? I called around and found that the price varies wildly from place to place! WalMart seemed to have the best price but even that varies from

Eila - Is the Pergolide scoop 100mg for $180?? This does work out cheaper than prescription specialties, if it is. Did they get back to you on what the shipping cost would be? ~ Ann tell

It is also a situation in these high-maintenance animals with chronic diseases, most of us are already swamped with increased vet bills, increased farrier visits and trying to find the right feed

I agree with all of you, but you have to go with what you have. The first time I had requested a prescription was when I had just started Hank on cypro - at that time the pills were only about $33

I had the same problem and my vet charged me $330 for the same bottle that Prescription Specialty's sells for $165. He was even getting it from them and reselling it to me. I changed vets as a

I agree especially when an animal has a chronic illness which involves long-term medication costs. In these instances the vets in my area are more than willing to call in the Rx for the cheapest
