Interesting.
In Michigan, veterinarians are required by law to write prescriptions as long as there is a vet/client/patient relationship and the drug is thought to be necesseary by the vet and the tests needed to dispense the drug (i.e. heartworm meds) have been done. They may charge a fee for this service.
As much as I believe people should get drugs from their vet whenever possible (or exam and procedure fees will go up), I think it's kinda ridiculous to refuse writing an rx. I mean, humans get the choice of what pharmacy they want to go to...
Ellie's vet's first concern when it comes to something like this (besides making sure it's not a counterfeit, obviously) is that her patients are getting the drugs that they need. I don't think she loses sleep over who has her ID.
That said, the law is probably different in your state, so I guess you would go to hte legislature there and try to get the law changed if it is very important to you.
