Veterinary medication at people pharmacy.

Gus, our rescue Havanese mix bog, boy dog, had a hard life before coming to us, as a pup of the streets in the wilds of Naples Florida and then he had been picked up by Animal Control and brought to the organization Canine Castaways in Arcadia Florida, never having the interim spacing of foster placement, but instead thrust into our open arms for permanent placement. A whirlwind life, and not particularly his choice and for that we are more than sure!

And quickly he was chosen to be ours at a pet-shop hosting the many rescues for the non-profit organization mentioned above... we were made to fill out paperwork and received an in-home evaluation prior to the last and final stop for our then Gaston, now Gus. Changed due to Gaston in French meaning stranger, and since we had adopted him he was a stranger no more, and who wants to call anyone Gas for short, really? Plus in the movie, Beauty and the Beast he was a villain, and Gus means majestic.

Although...he has found it difficult, we think, for him to see in the not too illuminated lighting at times causing him to lash out in fear by biting us! This has simmered down mostly over these nearly three years he has been our four legged son.
When he was dozing though about a month or so ago he did get Hubby again.
So our conclusion is when the expression said, let sleeping dogs lie, there was definitely a reason, at least in Gus's case.
Meanwhile, he had been prescribed the generic of Prozac, Fluoxetine capsules 10 mg. for the last maybe a year or so, and he is much calmer these days. Capsules are perfect for we sprinkle it on half of an egg every morning for him that he gobbles up with gusto. Get the intentional pun, GUS-to?

We had to order his medication this week, and we had been paying around $15 for a 90 day supply, very reasonable for what it does, but we requested they mail it, so the great deal with mailing was over $24.
Only thing is the only vet that has it is his old vet the one in Arcadia and that is an 82 mile round trip that is why we asked for it to be mailed, since we had tried their suggestion of ordering it online, their site did not have his dosage in capsule form, and neither of the main pet medication ordering companies did either Dr. Foster and Smith nor Petmeds,
  both did not carry what he needs, plus the tablets they did have at one time were out of stock, and  were $28 for only a thirty days' supply, plus $6.95 for shipping!

A while back we had tried our local pharmacy at the grocery that we frequent and they wanted $60 for the same medication, and then for some strange reason I told Hubby to try Walmart pharmacy today, he gave me their number and I called. We have one of those smaller version neighborhood ones about three miles away, and they gave us a price of... drum roll please... of $10 for a ninety day supply!
AMAZING!
Right now we are set for the next three months and two weeks plus, but at least we know that we can do this at not such a crazy price point.
His new vet that he has gone to for grooming is less than eight miles away, so sixteen round trip.
Big difference from eighty-two.

He's worth it, i.e. all this leg work to assure he gets what he needs without feeling gouged, no different from ourselves with our perseverance to get the best care for the best prices. We make sure our meds are priced right and I changed doctors to be closer to home, my old neuro's distance was 100 miles round trip and now less than four! See similar to him.

On this note allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy safe good night, and ask you to share all you blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
