Interestingly enough, horse vets are VERY stingy with their prescription writing. They like to be their own pharmacy and make lots of money on drug mark ups....One vet I sued to use would charge 25$/scrip just to write one if you didn't by the drugs from her...so annoying. Because horse vets are mobile and don't make as much money as the small animals vets (can't see as many patients in a day) they somehow feel justified in large mark ups on drugs that the horses need. I did just call my vet's office and I believe wrangle a prescription out of her, but when she was out the other day (for the horses' spring shots) I asked her to write a prescription and she said "no, no, i'll just get it for you" when I called back now and said "if you can give me the bottle you normally sell me for 180$ for the 34$ I can get it at drugstore.com, I'll gladly get it from you" her assistant said she'd see what she could do. It's not worth the headache...and my experience has been (I currently use three different horse vets/based on their different geographic locations) that you save the begging for the really expensive prescriptions, or blackmail the small animal vet who takes care of your 6 dogs and 4 cats to get it for you. Such a conflict of interest, but oh well.
