<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Before you try complaining to the AVMA about a Vet who does not write scripts (and I agree this is wrong on the part of the Vet) you should know that I do not believe the AVMA is a policing body and usually will not get involved. I may be incorrect, but I think that membership in the AVMA is, in fact, voluntary. You may be a Veterinarian without belonging, altho it is greatly to your advantage professionally to join.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">They are a Governing body, not a police unit. This is my <u>understanding</u>.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">If you want to file a complaint you go to your State Licensing Board. However, I doubt that they are going to do much to a Vet who chooses to charge you for a prescription. It is, after all, his perogative to decide what things cost in his own business.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">He can do it for free, as does mine, or charge you. If he is required by state law to write them for you then he can probably charge you.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">My Vet matches the prices for Heartgard and whatever the others are (sorry my brain is leaking today) with internet prices and catalog prices if you bring them in and show him.</font></font></div>
