Ok... tell Molly she IS going to get better only because of the cost of the meds.
You aren't out to lunch, we'd pay triple that and you know it to make them feel better.
Sure hope it works for you. Nothing bugs me more when you pay an arm and a leg for meds and they don't work.
I'll ck back tomorrow to see how she's doing and officially wish you "Happy Birthday" - tell Molly her feeling better would be the best present for you.
I totally agree with you Sharlene. Almost $20 per pill! That is insane!:eek::eek::eek: Are these directly from your vet, or can you get them at another pharmacy with written script? I would certainly try! So sorry to hear that our little diva still has the runs, and so close to your birthday celebration. Kids will do that to you every time!;) xxxxx
That was from my vet. I needed it today and have never found a place to get anything with a script. :( It's not quite as easy to do in Canada.
Yea, I know, holidays and all, is prime time for them to catch something or get sick.
huggers,
Sharlene and molly muffin
Sharelene our vet sends the prescription to the human pharmacy and I pay about $50-$60 for 60 pills 250mgs.
That cant be right, are you sure they did not make an error? I would ask them. How could that be?
WHAT!?? Even my crazy over-priced vets office does not charge anything close to that! Dr. Foster/Smith has it for .45 cents a tab. and 1-800 pet meds has .69 cents a tab. in the U.S.
Wow I can't believe you would have to pay that much more for it in Canada...I always think it's the one cheap drugs at my vet.
Well...you needed it and had to get it for Molly and that's what they charged you...but maybe check it out because it does seem extreme.
The good news about it is that you should see results pretty soon. It always works for Trixie with improvement after one dose...and usually no more diarrhea after two doses.
Hoping it works on Molly right away and that you can feel fine about boarding her for the party...and speaking of that have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a super fun celebration!!!! :D

Hope Molly feels better soon, poor sweetie!
♫ Happy Birthday To You ♫
Sharlene: So sorry Molly has the runs. That is extremely expensive for the Metronidazole. I never pay more than $1 a pill. Of course we pay what we have to for our pups. Maybe she will not need more than 5 pills. It always really helps CoCo. I know Molly will be fine boarded at the vet's. I am sure they have everything there to help her, but I know you worry that she is not with you. Have a happy birthday and I know Molly will be fine. For some reason these little dogs get diarrhea really often, I know CoCo does and it takes several days to get him back to firm stools. Usually something he has eaten, inside or outside. Much love and I will thinking about you and Molly. Enjoy your party. Love, JoAnne
Sharlene, something is terribly wrong with that pricing!!! :eek: :eek:
Here's a link to a Canadian pharmacy that is charging only approx. 50 cents (Canadian currency) per 250 mg. pill, even for only five pills total. I would definitely pursue this with your vet and demand a refund!

How is Molly feeling today? How are you doing?
That price on metronidazole is highway robbery! First you have to do whatever you have to do to help them feel better, but it sure seems the vet has taken advantage of the urgency in needing the medications. I wonder if the dispensing fee is super high or something. I, too would have a discussion with your vet or the hospital manager regarding their pricing....
I hope Molly and you can get some much needed rest!
Take Care,
