LevothyroxineQ: How often should a thyroid test be done on a 7 yr old maltese who has been on the drug 2 yrs? how many months of the drug can be ordered/filled by you with a vets o.k. at one time. A: How often to test is dependant on your pets response to treatment. if the pet is stabilized, your veterinarian may only need to do a test every 6 to 12 months. if your pet shows signs of hypothyroid or hyperthyroid, testing may need to be done every 3 months. in stabilized pets, and based on the veterinarians willingness, it is possible to have a prescription filled for a 1 year supply.

Affordabile medcineQ: My dog taylor has allergys, the problen is the vet is charging me 42.00 for a 30 day supply of tavist. is there a less expensive way of getting it. i cant find it in your medcines, A: We do not currently stock it among our antihistamines, but until then you can purchase it at your local pharmacy. it is available as tavist and the generic product clemastine should be right next to it on the shelf. be careful not to buy the tavist-d, or the generic which contains pseudoephedrine.
