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

I'm sorry but I think that attitude purely reeks. Physicians write prescriptions, most of them wouldn't dream of dispensing drugs. I know vets make a lot less money for a lot more work, but I do not

I tried to get a prescription from my vet for the cyproheptadine - no go. Their response was "The pharmacy won't come out if you have an emergency in the middle of the night..." So I am stuck with

Can my vet purchase Permax for my mare at Prescription Specialties? Or is Med-A-Save a better deal? I need to know, as the first prescription for Permax cost an awful lot, we're about to finish up

We do what we have to do for our animals! That IS the bottom line! Maybe things will change, but for right now, I agree with you. If your horse is getting excellent Vet care and you can afford to

BelindaVet will be visiting Pandora today for a RH hoof abscess that broke out on her coronary band yesterday. Meanwhile she is acting like her RF hoof may be developing an abscess as well. I hope

Sure know what you mean about one thing after another! When Star mysteriously came up with a bad read sprain this last fall this is what the vet advised: cold wash (the hose), dry off, wrap well, some

I have found the grazing muzzles from KC2 Equine Supply to be- quite literally- lifesavers. They have one with a breakaway halter all in one unit with the muzzle. Last year the horse size ones cost

Only problem with the break-away grazing muzzles, if the horse is on pasture and the grazing muzzle breaks away and you don't notice the horse will be eating lots of that nice grass you could be

Robin, I think trying to negotiate a standing discount with Prescription Specialties would be a great idea. I recently emailed Kohlls pharmacy to get a price on Pergolide liquid and there email
