I just had an extremely expensive (just shy of $1000) vet visit for
Chester, who has bacterial pneumonia. Considering I thought I wasn't
bringing him back home,</p>
<p>that was extremely good news at the time, and still is. He is to
be on 2 different antibiotics for at least 6 weeks, and possibly most
of the rest of his life.</p>
<p>The meds were about $450.00 to cover the first 2 weeks. When the
vet called the next day to tell me the results of the radioligist
looking at his xrays, I asked if I could get a prescription and maybe
find the meds cheaper somewhere else, she said yes. But she also said
they would probably price match what I find. Well, I found Zeniquin at
Fosters and Smith for $140.00 and they charged me $238.00. The other
one, Clavamox, I found for $168.00 and they charged $207.00, so that is
a bit less offensive. It is OK to ask for a script, right? I mean, this
is crazy. This is not my "regular" vet, but kind of an emergency vet
that the rescue group I worked with used all the time. I feel kind of
funny wanting them to write me a prescription, but my heck. What does
everyone do? Just go with the vet price or </p>
<p>get stuff other places? Really wondering. </p>

Gabby needs two different eyedrops daily for her glaucoma-threatened
remaining eye. At the eye-specialist vet, they are close to $45 per
bottle. I finally took them to my local Walgreens, where Gabby has had
one of their prescription discount cards for several years. Walgreens
told me that they could supply Gabby with the drops for approximately
$15 per bottle. I bit the bullet and asked the eye-specialist if she
could send Gabby's prescription to Walgreens. She was agreeable and
I'm happily saving some money.<br>
