nancy Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is there a good online source for anti-seizure meds for dogs? Our daughter's 8-year-old hound mix has started having mild seizures. So far, she says Wal-Mart has the best prices for the meds. Evidently, Rosie also has low thyroid and high cholesterol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 You might look into PetRescueRx http://petrescuerx.com/ Not only are their prices good, but they donate their profits to shelters and rescues that you choose from. It definitely does pay to compare pharmacies. When I was shopping for tramadol for my late Tilly, I found variations that ranged from about $19 and change to over $100 for the same script!

BCjetta Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 The vet I work for has said that low thyroid can sometimes cause seizures or at least make a dog more prone to it. If the seizures aren't too bad or frequent, I'd try correcting the thyroid first and see if the seizures decrease. My vet also has said if they are mild seizures and its once a month or less than it may be better to not medicate as the meds can be hard on the liver.

LauraV Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Petcarerx is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have yet to find an online source for the anti-seizure meds I use for Phoebe. Of course it depends on the type of medication they're using, but if it's a controlled substance like phenobarbital, you likely won't find it for sale online. J.

Maralynn Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is there a Costco in the area? They often have really competitive pricing on prescriptions. IIRC, you don't need a membership to use their pharmacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bconace Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 We have two BC mix dogs with seizures. All you will ever want to know about seizure can be found here http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com/ Dr Jean Dodds found thyroid problems that other DR's discounted. Could be as simple as thyroid supplement RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, you don't need a membership to use their pharmacy. Ditto with Sam's Club. They & Wal-Mart were the ones who had the lowest price when I was comparing tramadol, and you also don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy.

juliepoudrier Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I use Costco, even though there's not one all that convenient to me. Their prices are better than most place, although at least in the case of Pb, the price has been steadily rising. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
