What is your prescription policy?
|
| |
|
Veterinarians are required to have a valid client/patient/veterinarian relationship in order to prescribe certain medications for patients. This means we have to have examined your pet within the last 12 months to prescribe any medications that require a prescription. This includes deworming medication and heartworm and parasite preventives. In addition for chronic medications such as thyroid medications, pain medications, and others the doctor will require periodic blood monitoring. This is to ensure the medications are not working against the body and that we are maintaining the proper dosage. The way the body interacts with a medication will change over time so this blood monitoring is very important for the health of your pet. |
