font-family:Arial'>My vet recently did an extensive study on getting
prescription meds through a pharmacy. He is mailing me the information so
I don’t have it yet, but he said you have to make sure you are getting
exactly the same medicine, not even a generic. Dogs will absorb meds at a
different rate than people, and even a name brand can either be toxic or
non-effective. He did this extra research because I wanted to get metacam
at the pharmacy. He said if I did, and they gave me meloxicam that maybe
was a pill mixed in a solution instead of the real metacam it would kill a
dog. I tried a generic eye drop when Daisy had glaucoma, and she lost
sight in her eye about a week later. He said some things don’t
matter, like antibiotics, but I decided I will spend the extra money and get
meds from the clinic to make sure they are safe. Ann<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
