How and why would a vet prescribe "generic drugs" if the vet doesn't know what the problem is? |
A generic drug is one that isn't a name brand. For instance, Tylenol is the brand name, Acetaminophen is the generic name.

Seriously? Why would you advocate holding off on getting a dog treatment while they try to set up insurance? If the dog is sick, it needs to be seen. Also, because she does have a history of taking the dog to the vet for this, even if there isn't a definitive diagnosis, then it would be considered a preexisting condition and not be covered under a new plan.
