I am glad that you feel that Oreo is improving despite what the other doctor said. I think we know better because we are with the dog more. About meds, I have been getting mine from Canada. They are significantly cheaper - right now Jack is taking one that costs $90 from the vet and it is $35 from Canada. Snoopy's was also much more affordable - I think his was like half and that means a lot from going to $300 a month to $150. The pharmacy I am using is Canada Drugs. If they have to ship from Canada (like Snoopy's) it takes about 3 weeks the first time and about 2 after than. They also have a pharmacy here (but you contact the one in Canada) and it takes less than a week. That doesn't do much for right now but if he has to stay on it, it could help.

You might also check with the local pharmacies - there can be a remarkable difference in prices on the same medication.
