Can you get the medicine at a regular pharmacy such as Walmart? Vets charge a lot more for meds. I got what turned out to amoxicillin when Maggie was a puppy and it was $15 for a tiny amount of it. It is a $4 generic at target!
As far as eating you may have broken her....what I mean is that when Maggie was a puppy we had to give her chicken and rice for a while.,we transitioned back to her regular food, but since then she won't eat it without chicken breast(or ground beef--lean and rinsed) mixed in. Perhaps she just doesn't want to eat her old food! |
Thanks so much for your concern. As for my gallbladder, I had it out about 15 to 20 years ago. I think it is my colitis, but it is possibly my kidney, either a stone or infection or something else. I see my doctor Thurs, so I will know a little more after Thurs.
As for getting Meds at a regular Pharmacy, that's a good question. I'm just not sure. It is Viagra, but it is in a tiny dose 0.25 ml. 2X a day. It's a conversion Pharmacy-I'm not totally sure what that is, I think they convert from pills to liquids or visa versa, and also convert from people to animal doses, etc, and can give very tiny doses. I'll have to check that out.
As for "breaking" :-) her, yup, you're probably right, I probably did, and now she eats Costco white meat chicken like the devil, but is refusing her regular food, or will only take a few licks of the baby food. You're right, she probably doesn't want to eat her regular food now! So now I have to find a new regular food or what??????
