If so, you might be able to obtain it with a prescription from any chemist. The drug that my dog needs to treat her Cushings Syndrome costs �143 for 100 capsules from the vet. I now get the same thing from Sainsburys pharmacy for �82. You will need to get a prescription from your vet, if it is a prescription-only-medicine - make sure the vet writes it for the generic name, rather than the veterinary product. A vet can not reasonably refuse your request for a prescription, although he might charge you for writing it. In my experience a vet will not charge for writing a prescription providing he does it during a consultation (for which you are already paying!). I hope you have luck in finding a cheaper source. Bob
