By the way, I've been using diamondback for the past 6 years and they've been reliable and consistent. Recently I started to use Stokes pharmacy in NJ for a compounded eye drop for Teddy and they've been easy to deal with too. You might want to check with them - I think I found diamondback to be cheaper on the butorphanol.
Ok, so I'm going to deal with Diamondback; they have a cheaper version in liquid form: comes in 4 ml, which you can administer 1 ml by using the syringe that come with the package. Good for a month, it's 30 odd dollars. that's fine. I told the vet about the BBB rating of F for Roadrunner and she said they don't have many customers who need compounding, so no one really looked into the company as I did. Diamondback gets A+ from BBB. I'll let you know how Gabey does. thanks for all your thoughts. I have never been so attached to a dog in my life, and I've had many dogs, including a brace (male and female) of Fox Terriers, who are very strong, active dogs. Matt Tudor
