My own local vet is apparently on vacation otherwise I'm sure her clinic would have helped me (they were the first I tried, but her substitute/locum/whatever-you-call-it was the one who decided I should be talking to a "fish" vet).
If anyone wants to try the North Calgary vet clinic, the "fish" vet there is Dr. Richard Weger and his technician is Steve. I was allowed to set an appointment with this Steve fellow to be able to show him whatever documentation I had regarding these meds in an aquarium setting, and after that he was going to discuss the matter with Dr. Weger before dispensing. I'm not going to proceed with this exercise at this time since I'm not feeling particularly lucky anymore. If anyone wants to continue the exercise though to see if we can at least get this clinic alongside with our needs; the number there is 277-0135 and their address is 4204, 4th St NW (apparently across from James Fowler high school).

I just got home from there and was successful at getting the interceptor to treat my acro. I consulted with Steve, showed him all the info I had on the issue, the drug, and dosages. He was very receptive and helpful, he even looked at other medications with the same active ingredient to see if there was another better choice. In the end we concluded that the Interceptor was the best choice afterall, with the smallest dose tablet being more than sufficent to treat my QT tank. Dr. Weger agreed and allowed the prescription and dispensing of a single tablet so I would not have to buy the entire pack. Total cost for the consultation and drug was $7.22. They now have all the information on file that I took in, so if you mention my visit, they can refer to it for info.
