sandgrubber Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Two of the medicines for Danny have to be compounded. The first lots were provided by SASH and they charged over $200 for each. The vet at SASH gave me a repeat and I've had to have one repeated. Cost? $62.00. Yes, we always expect to pay more at specialists particularly when they are providing 24/7 services, but to charge $200 for a med that cost me $62 to have compounded at my local pharmacy is tantamount to robbery. No worse than charging $50 (or whatever) for Ivermectin based heartworm meds that would cost you a dollar or two if you bought the same drug in a form meant for cattle or goats. Big pharma routinely takes advantage of the love we have for our pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Big pharma routinely takes advantage of the love we have for our pets. I think you have misread, sandgrubber. It wasn't the pharmacy, it was SASH (Small Animal Specialist Hospital) which was taking advantage of the love we have for our pets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyz Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 And what was SASH's response when you discussed it with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
