Vet’s Office Says Shopping Online Endangers My Pet, Won’t Approve Prescription

[Chemisse]

3. I am really grateful to be able to get on-line meds for my girl

She can no longer be transported to the vet. Typical of elderly Mastiffs, she has problems with her leg joints and has trouble just walking. We've built a ramp so she can get down to the yard and back. But there is no way she can get in a car and she is far too heavy to be lifted.

My vet won't give me medications for her without a vet visit, which is just not feasible. (She doesn't do house calls). Luckily I was able to order rabies vaccine on line so I could give Inca a booster (needed to renew her town dog license). Also fortunately I was able to order antibiotics for her when she had an apparent bladder infection. (She is feeling so much better!)

I'm pretty sure breeders buy the vaccinations in bulk for their pups. There must be a way to assure the quality is acceptable.
