It's really hard to NOT consent to get medications that your pet needs. Unfortunately, our 14 year old dog needs some pretty expensive meds. Twice now, over the past 2 years, her liver enzymes have skyrocketed. Apparently she has a bile salts problem. After giving her a very expensive human drug (ursodiol), her liver enzymes come down to normal. Now the vet says to keep her on it forever. Also, she's developed bad arthritis and we're going to start injections on her that are supposed to even reverse the joint damage. Plus, she's on thyroid medication for being hypothyroid. Then there's the flea and tick med and the heartworm med.
We love her and we just can't say no to these things. But geez.........sooooo expensive.
The vet recommended using a Canadian pharmacy or Good Rx company. I guess I'll check that out.
I do have mixed feelings though, about spending so much money. I guess it's a First World problem...............
