Interceptor and Panacur

[Delphinus]

Wow ... it's NOT a prescription?? Now I'm even more annoyed!

1800petmeds.com said they'd take orders from Canada, so I think I'm done with trying to talk to the locals anyhow. Web surfing is so much funner than driving all over the city in the search of some mystical thing. But that should mean that others should be able to have some luck. I guess don't call the vets beforehand like I did, just show up and ask for it.

Edit: I posted this before seeing BMWrider's post. I am glad that some success can come from this. Thanks Ed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you 100% on this interceptor search. I too drove a 4-5 different Vets all of the city trying to explain what I needed but in the end came up short. Most place wanted the "doctor/client" relationship before helping you or prescribing any drugs. The last place I went to also referred me to Dr.Weger but I didn't bother trying anymore after that. In the end I ended up ordering online and got my drugs a week later. How I see it, the time and effort it takes in meeting/explaing/begging with the vets for this drug is not worth the time when this drug can easily be obtained online without any hassle what so ever.

Delphinus I know where you can get a Fenbendazole paste identical to panacur called safeguard in Calgary no questions asked. It disolves in water faitly well, I've used it on WC fish before.

PM for the details if you still need it as I would rather not risk them finding out they aren't supposed to be doing this.

I stronly suspect that the Vets are doing this to protect their purchasing cartel more than anything else. I imported a bunch of wild caught geckos a while ago and all of the vets in town wanted to examine all 10 of them before they would give me anything. At $40 bucks a pop + what they change for the drug. I don't think so...

You would not believe what Weger @ Calgary North wanted to nueter my g/f's rabbit either. Absolute highway robbery, I used to refer a lot of customers from the pet store I worked at there too. All the clinics in town were priced different even though they claimed to get their pricing from the same published schedule too.
