Can a vet refuse to give you a prescription? My dog is on epiphen, which states on the bottle is NOT to be stopped abruptly. However, when I phoned for a repeat prescription today, was told it would not be issued until samples were taken from my dog!
Yes, veterinarians can refuse to refill prescriptions. I realize that this can be frustrating, but some medications can have side effects or cause organ damage, requiring regular monitoring, often in the form of blood tests. Epiphen (phenobarbital), for example, can greatly impact the liver and the levels of medication within the bloodstream must be monitored to assure that the medication stays at a safe and effective therapeutic level. In the US, we also must have examined a pet within the past 12 months in order to legally prescribe any medication - including some flea and tick preventions. I don't know what regulations may exist in the UK. It may be worth another call to your vet to determine the reasons behind the refusal to refill the medication. I hope this helps to clarify the situation and that everything gets worked out for Buckley!

My white Scotty Terrier, 35 pds. Has a urine protein creatinine of 2.4. What medication would be helpful to decrease this? Roxie dog also has borderline high BP. Lisinopril or Rafampin? I am an RN and I am familiar with these medications. I will
If a UTI has been ruled out by urine culture, then protein losing nephropathy can be suspected as the cause, and an ACEI such as enalapril or benazepril can be used. I believe there is a newer medication on the US market for this purpose in dogs, but I can't remember it now! I just learned about it at a lecture a few months ago. I don't typically treat borderline high BP, but if the PLN is real then the ACEI will certain help lower the BP to decrease protein loss. Beta blockers would be the next step, but I haven't needed to use them personally. Here is an article you may find helpful on canine hypertension: https://www.dvm360.com/view/diagnosing-and-treating-hypertension-proceedings-0 And another for PLN: https://www.dvm360.com/view/protein-losing-nephropathy-proceedings

I have X rays and blood tests for my dog, which shows that he has heart failure and he is currently in the Middle East. I need to get this medication from the US but it requires a prescription. How can I get it? P.S this medication is not available
I'm sorry Pepper is in heart failure and you are having trouble getting him medication! Unfortunately we at Pet Coach cannot write you a prescription for his medication as it's illegal for us to do so without seeing him in person. I would see if you can find a vet where you are in the Middle East, and ask the them to write the prescription so you can get the medication for him. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, we are not permitted to give out drug dosages without a veterinarian - client - pet relationship. If you are seeking this information, I would obtain it through a veterinarian in person or through a veterinary formulary such as Plumb's or Merck. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Dr kothman called in a prescription for doxycycline 100mg and 100 tablets I would like to compare the price that was called into our local HEB with your price.
We don't sell prescription drugs here since we are only a consulting forum. However, if you want to do comparison prices for drugs then the best resource is https://www.goodrx.com OR calling the pharmacy of your choosing directly. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find an affordable price for your pets medication. Take care!
